"Today, we are going to examine the pressing need to strengthen forensic science in America."

"I hope that prosecutors and defense attorneys around the country are reading it and raising questions."

"Forensic scientists too rarely get to review crime scene evidence in sleek, ultra-modern, state-of-the-art laboratories."
