Homicide and Other Death Investigations

Homicide and Other Death Investigations
For the Police Investigator
5 Day Seminar

"There is no right to escape detection. There is no right to commit the perfect crime or to an equal opportunity to that end. The constitution is not at all offended when a guilty man stubs his toe. On the contrary – it is decent to hope that he will."

Chief Justice Weintraub
State v. McKnight 52 N.J. 35,
52-53, 24 A 240 (1968)
