>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 15 21:29:05 2017 No.8605903 >>8605896 So which are rigorous and which aren't?

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 15 21:34:17 2017 No.8605916 >>8605903 Depends on the investigator. You're basically just asking 'how corrupt are cops" Forensic science can be very good, or it could have a corrupt cop behind it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 15 21:35:06 2017 No.8605920 >>8605903 forensic counselors are probably on the lower end of rigor
