      I have to be careful when doing forensic examinations because what I’m looking at is evidence that will be used in court. But sometimes I have to do tests on what I’m given – sometimes testing things to destruction. It’s important to get permission from the courts before doing that – and yes sometimes I’ve got mixed up and tested things I wasn’t supposed to test.
