| | All experienced forensic pathologists have encountered a small but worrisome number of false confessions, which emphasizes the need to be alert for discrepancies in the statements of suspects and witnesses when comparing them to the physical evidence. | | | For example, a person may die soon after an injury and a forensic pathologist may be called upon to determine whether the death was or was not related to the injury. | | | Forensic pathologists become involved in a wide variety of problems; most commonly they are the result of criminal activity. |
