Basic and Thaumaturgic Forensics - Wednesday, Period Four - 8/12
"I admit that today's class, as it has to do with witnesses and suspects, is something of a mixed bag. For one, I'm going to speak about interrogation which, strictly speaking, is not at all forensics. It is, however, something you might have to do if you are in any way, shape or form, part of an investigation. Any discussion with a potential lead, no matter how small, should be conducted with the importance of your work in mind."
She eyed the class thoughtfully.
"As such, I'd like you all to give this and this a look, though obviously we will not be watching the whole of either video. While that particular right is not, in fact, a part of my own legal system, the points that these men make are very intelligent and speak to the tendencies of investigators as well as to those who would give you information."
Abby Irene looked at her class and considered some of what she'd spoken to Murdock about, her gaze settling on a few particular faces. She would miss this. God, she really and truly would miss this place and these children.
"The first lesson is to treat every person you're talking to as a witness. I know this might sound counterproductive, but it is the best strategy to gain information. Treating everyone as a witness makes them more likely to offer information, less likely to close up, and those they know who might be able to provide some information for us to use in prosecution are more likely to do so when they think that it's just harmless.
"As for thaumaturgically..."
She went on for some time, really, before they got to the discussion.
[ocd up!]

Anyway, you can listen to her talk about the various magical tests you can do to tell if someone is lying, the information you can get off of a man's shoes if he was wearing them at the time of the crime, and other interesting tidbits.
