As such, Forensic Scientists are instrumental in the charging, convicting, and potentially acquitting of many criminal defendants. Becoming a Forensic ScientistForensic Scientists can have rewarding careers working for laboratories, law enforcement, hospitals, or the coroner’s office. The first step towards this career is to obtain a bachelor’s degree. However, obtaining a Master’s degree can only broaden your potential. One should also think about obtaining an internship working with a law enforcement agency while pursuing your degree. As a result of how closely these scientists work with law enforcement, a forensic scientist needs to be able to pass a background check and drug test. To assist in testifying in court, records should be kept of all training, classes, and certificates obtained. Forensic Evidence CollectionForensic Scientists begin their jobs by showing up to a crime scene and conducting a preliminary investigation. Then, these experts identify what type of forensic evidence at the crime scene. This could include things such as fingerprints, blood, drug residue, bodily fluids, bullet pieces, documents, or digital information on computers. Then, Forensic Scientists work with local law enforcement to collect the evidence so that it can be taken to a lab for examination. Chain of CustodyRemember that the use of this evidence in court depends largely on the how well the chain of custody is maintained. This means that law enforcement and the Forensic Scientists have to have documentation for the location of the evidence from the crime scene to the courtroom where the trial takes place. Failure to have that chain of custody could weaken the prosecution’s ability to use the evidence or result in the evidence being denied admissibility entirely. Technology UsedForensic Scientists use some amazing technology to perform their jobs and if you have ever watched an episode of CSI then you likely have seen some of this technology in action. With the increased use of DNA evidence in criminal trials, DNA sequencing is something that is used often. This technology enables the matching of DNA evidence between a criminal defendant and crime scene to place the perpetrator at the scene of the crime. Magnetic fingerprinting is used to compare fingerprint samples to those found at the crime scene. These experts also use facial reconstruction technology to assist in creating visual profiles to assist in identifying fugitives. More commonly, Forensic Scientists use state of the art laboratory equipment and chemical testing to test blood, bloodily fluids, drugs, or other human remains found by law enforcement. There are some new technologies just entering the field of the forensic science. Massively Parallel Sequencing is now a new way to analyze DNA to help find in large disasters where many people have died. Hair Bacteria Assessments helps convict sexual predators by identifying sexually produced microbes in hair follicles. Fingerprinting technology has come a long way from using white powder and a brush. Now, scientists can not only identify fingerprints, but also tell the time that they were left on a surface. Forensic Scientists TestimonyForensic Scientists are subject to the same qualification rules as any other expert witness used in a trial. Due to the confrontation clause, a criminal defendant has the right to be present in court with any witness being used in the case. This means that the forensic scientist has to be thorough in the report that they prepare regarding how the evidence is collected, the types of tests that the performed, and the results of those tests. These experts need to be prepared to testify regarding their backgrounding including their education, licenses, scientific methods, and work history. Forensic Scientists should know that the methods they use the analyze materials collected at a crime scene need to be widely used, peer reviewed, and capable of surviving a Daubert challenge–the Supreme Court’s test for the admission of scientific evidence in the courtroom. The post What is a Forensic Scientist? appeared first on The Expert Institute. from https://www.theexpertinstitute.com/what-is-a-forensic-scientist/ The saga continues for Oculus VR Inc., the virtual reality startup company acquired by social media giant, Facebook, in 2014 for $2 billion. Shortly after its acquisition, video game maker, Zenimax Media, sued Facebook and Oculus, alleging that Zenimax’s former employee, John Carmack, who later became Oculus’ Chief Technology Officer, stole the company’s proprietary code to create the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality gaming headset. ZeniMax alleged that Oculus stole trade secrets, violated non-disclosure agreements, infringed their copyrights, and committed numerous counts of false designation as to the true origin of Oculus’ products. After a trial in Dallas federal court earlier in the year, a jury awarded ZeniMax an astounding $500 million in damages after finding that ZeniMax’s own computer coding and technology was used by the defendants to develop the Oculus Rift. While the jury rejected the claim that Facebook stole trade secrets, it awarded ZeniMax $200 million in damages for the violation of the company’s non-disclosure agreement, $50 million in damages for copyright infringement, and another $50 million for Facebook’s improper use of trademarks. The jury also ordered the individual defendants, former Oculus CEO, Brendan Iribe, and Oculus founder, Palmer Luckey, to pay $150 million and $50 million in damages, respectively, for false designation of the trademarks. Interestingly, although the jury found that Carmack used ideas belonging to ZeniMax, Carmack was not ordered to pay any damages. The Game Isn’t Over: Zenimax and Facebook Continue Their FightLitigation in this matter is far from over, as both parties immediately filed post-trial motions with the court after the verdict was reached. Facebook, seeking a judgment as a matter of law, contends that there was insufficient evidence at trial to prove the jury’s copyright and trademark infringement findings. The company claims that the code at issue does not constitute “creative expression” that may be copyrighted but rather, is a functional solution not protectable under the Copyright Act. Facebook also challenges the basis of the damages and has requested sanctions against the plaintiff for failing to timely produce the company’s financial information.

ZeniMax contends that the equitable remedy is “manifestly warranted,” and that the parties agreed to the possibility of an injunction in the non-disclosure agreement at issue during trial. Facebook is vehemently against the injunction, arguing that it “would create a windfall for ZeniMax while detracting from the public’s enjoyment of Oculus’s groundbreaking products,” and that the injunction would “impose significant and unfair hardship on Oculus’ customers, employees and business partners.” Facebook asserts that ZeniMax has failed to establish that it faces ongoing harm to warrant such a remedy, as the two companies are not competitors. Facebook also maintains that ZeniMax improperly waited years to disclose its issues with Oculus’ source code, and that if divulged sooner, the companies could have worked around the use of ZeniMax’s functionalities. To rewrite their code now would be unduly burdensome on the company, Facebook argues. If the court does not grant the injunction, ZeniMax seeks, in the alternative, a royalty fee of at least 20% over the next ten years of Oculus sales. ZeniMax also argues that the $500 million verdict is too low, and given the defendants’ misconduct, seeks additional damages totaling $1 billion. In the wake of this post-trial battle, Facebook has recently unveiled a less expensive, wireless virtual reality headset to be released in 2018. While virtual reality headsets have not reached mainstream popularity just yet, projections by Bloomberg Intelligence predict that the virtual reality hardware market may exceed $40 billion in sales in 2020. If these projections come to fruition, Facebook stands to lose significantly more than the $500 million verdict. A hearing was recently held before Judge Kinkeade of the United States District Court of the Southern District of Texas, but he did not yet order a ruling. The judge encouraged the parties to reach a settlement, as he wants to “resolve the heck out of [this] big hairy fight.” How the Experts Can Weigh InAs to be expected in a case about virtual reality technology and computer coding, both parties heavily relied on expert testimony at trial. ZeniMax’s experts concluded that they were “absolutely certain” that Oculus copied ZeniMax’s code in developing the Rift. David Dobkin, a Princeton University computer science professor, testified on behalf of ZeniMax, and explained to the jury the numerous examples of computer code in Oculus software that contained trade secrets. Meanwhile, Facebook’s experts testified that the code used to develop the virtual reality headset were not copyrighted by ZeniMax and did not constitute trade secrets. Whether the parties reach a settlement or continue to file requests with the Court until a decision is rendered, experts for each side will undoubtedly need to be involved. Although already litigated, ZeniMax’s request for an injunction has resurfaced the issue of whether Facebook and Oculus are improperly using code belonging to ZeniMax. Computer science experts will be needed throughout the settlement negotiations, to pinpoint exactly which code ZeniMax are contesting. Engineering experts on both sides can attest to whether the disputed software can be “worked around,” or if changing Oculus’ technology at this stage would be unduly burdensome. Another major issue is whether the code themselves are protected by copyright, which Facebook maintains they are not. Again, though already litigated, the future of both companies hinge on this question. Prior to any Court rulings, intellectual property experts will be needed during any potential settlement negotiations to clarify the extent that ZeniMax is protected by copyright law. Likewise, because both parties are seeking to drastically change the amount of damages awarded, a damages expert can be useful to both sides in justifying these numbers. Overall, until a settlement is reached (and until the Court renders a decision), the litigation between Facebook and ZeniMax is far from over.
