Excerpt from Blood-Stains: Their Detection, and the Determination of Their Source: A Manual for the Medical and Legal Professions

'To Science it matters little whether the birthplace of a discovery be here or elsewhere: our task is to find out whether the report of a new fact is true or false.' - Orfila.

'If the Law has made you a witness, remain a man of Science: you have no victim to avenge, no guilty or innocent person to ruin or save. You must bear testimony within the limits of Science.' - Brouardel.

'He who has had to do with Courts of Law will rightly appreciate this - he will understand how great a moral and legal responsibility the expert takes upon himself when he answers the question as to the presence of blood in the affirmative: on his answer may depend the honour and freedom, even the life, of the accused person.' - Minovici.
