Quotations


The only reliable evidence
is
 the physical evidence.


“This is evidence that does not forget.   It is not confused by the excitement of the moment.   It is not absent because human witnesses are.   It is factual evidence.   Physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself, it cannot be wholly absent.   Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its value.”

Professor Edmond Locard (1877-1966)



“Whenever you have excluded the impossible, 
whatever remains, 
however improbable, must be 
the truth.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
