"They'll prove whether Oscar is telling the truth or if he's lying", a Hollywood CSI writer says of the importance of the forensics investigation. As top specialists in the US explain, the Pistorius case is unusual because CSI techniques are not being used to find the perpetrator, but to determine the motive of the killing. Yet the entire case rests on this evidence. "The blood spatter can indicate Reeva's position when she was shot. Which is important", a CSI 'first responder' from Los Angeles tells us. The problem is that much of the crime scene evidence was corrupted by the South African first responders. "These cops trampled through the crime scene. They didn't collect things, they didn't photograph things. Any defence lawyer worth his salt is going to go after that." A fascinating look into the factors that will ultimately decide whether or not Oscar Pistorius is convicted.
