Abstract

In forensic evidence presentation, the presence of technology is essential. Forensic science is critical to the conviction of the guilty and the acquittal of the innocent and science and technology presents an avenue to accompany the paradigm shift in the relationship between criminal adjudication and forensic expertise. Currently, there is no comprehensive review to identify the use of technology to moderate causation and laboratory standards in evidence presentation. This paper provides an overview of significant contexts on how accusation establishment and laboratory standard by technology implementation will impact the evidence presentation thorough analysis on literature studies that involve on articles study that related to evidence presentation. Based on author findings, there are four key-reason how establishing causation impact of evidence presentation and there are five key standardization contexts through the use of technology. The result will gives benefit in term of depth understanding or as a good reference for both academician and forensic practitioner.
