Former NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller lands top job at DNA testing lab
Loading
A The damn report published last month It has revealed that there are 13,000 examples of the workload that must be tested with a completion time of more than 400 days. In NSW, these results usually last 10 days.
Fuller was changed to Linzi Wilson-Wilde to repair the laboratory after the first investigation, but the boss of the legal authority, who faced questions about his own suitability before he was suspended by the Chief Public Prosecutor Deb Frecklington.
Wilson-Wilde resigned in July.
Fuller was initially recruited by the Crisaflli government to lead the testing facility to lead the task force, but was approved as FSQ Director on Friday.
And while desperate to overcome thousands of examples to help solve great crimes, hurry to take the examples out of the first place was the thing that led to troubles.
Ful The last thing I want to say to scientists is to cut the corners to go faster, because everything I need to talk about is the best of our ability to do perfection and something, ”Fuller said.
The first investigation commission noted that a weakness in the laboratory could not understand the complex forensic science, but although Fuller has not been a scientist, although he stated that his experience as a researcher was ideal for leading the reform process as a researcher, the judicial anthropologist and criminologist Xanthe Mallett.
“They should make sure that all their policies and procedures and equipment are ready to draw,” he said.
“Considering how important we have to trust our laboratories, public confidence in this field is also important and we should know that cases are managed quickly, effectively and responsible.
“Many people knew these problems and they continued, and this is not good.”
Mallett, Fuller’ın starting from scratch and laboratory procedures should examine every aspect, he said.
“They need to bulldoze everything that goes wrong and really starts again,” he said.
“They’re not in a position to move forward yet because they haven’t cleaned the house.”
Mallett said the current timeline to test the examples in Queensland has brought more burden to the state’s justice system.
Every time a court hearing was postponed, he reinstated this victim.
Mallett, “These people and victims of violent crimes are not only managed. For example, you are waiting for 400 days to publish and imagine what it hurts to investigations,” he said.
“In these cases I really feel for the victims and their families because they waited for a very long time, and in some cases the community may be under the risk of violent criminals that could be defined, and these examples are not properly managed.”
