    I was helping to find some missing boaters. We finally located the last body, at this point the body had been in the water for roughly three days. The stink was unbelievable. The coroner shows up and starts taking deep breaths, while everyone else is trying and mostly failing to not vomit. After stuffing my stomach back in I asked her if she was literally the hardest person on the planet or did she know something about dealing with the ungodly smell. That's when I learned two things. First wa that yes she was indeed the hardest person on the planet and the second was nose blindness. Just take deep breaths until the smell goes away.

      Mike Appleget that makes sense! When I saw the movie I thought it was to be more accurate and I liked the grittiness, the reality of death smelling bad. And it did make me feel closer to the situation! So in a way it was accurate for reminding the audience of the smell, just not in the actual behavior of the actors. Interesting!

      The fastest, easiest way is to wipe it off and put it against your tongue. If it sticks it's bone. In most cases its animal bone not human, and you could get some germs or bacteria in your mouth but it doesn't seem to vex Archaeologists. Also, I was never the person to do it, but there was always someone in the group that was willing 😄

      Neither in Norway/Sweden. We have a doctrine called "fri bevisföring" which means that judges are allowed to freely evaluate any evidence.

      Doctrine of the fruit of the poisonous tree also only applies to state actors here in the USA. Meaning it's for government employees especially law enforcement. Private individuals and whistleblowers can steal evidence and it will be completely admissable.
      Unless someone in the government instructs that person to do it.

    Excellent presentation. What he explains is one reason why judges instruct juries to forget what they've seen on television crime shows, because real life generally is not like how forensics are presented in movies and TV series.

    I'd love him to comment on The Fall. I thought these were some of the most pristine csi scenes ever and it was the first time that i saw such care being used to show that they don't want to contaminate the scene, they had head to toe protective suits, masks and even some panels to step on so that they wouldn't touch the floor and the main detective waited until everything was photographed and sampled before she even came in and while inside they tried not to touch anything even with gloves on. I do think there was a moment with a pen though :D but I might be misremembering it
