    Why does criminal investigation help determine a person(s) innocent or guilty
    I am trying to do a research paper on Criminal Investigation and how it is a key point in a court cases; determining if one is innocent or guilty.

    I would think this would be very obvious. Guilt in a criminal case is largely determined by evidence. It's the job of the investigators to to build an evidential case to present to the court.

    Investigators are looking for a suspect them after one is found, they look for enough evidence to arrest and change. They are not looking to find anyone "not guility" if they happen upon evidence that does, well they do, but that is not what they are out looking for

    Forencis and criminal investigation are not the same thing, forencis merely review and provide facts on evidnece that the investigators, police officers and dect send into a crime lab.

    Please don't confuse TV shows with what happens in real life

    I know that! I want to know when investigating a crime scene. And gathering and going through all the evidence, why it is such a key point in the jury, or the court to saying that one is guilty, or not. Such as how do you know that the person was not set up or anything. Does that make sense??
