New true-crime show focuses on cutting-edge forensics

The documentary series explores the world of forensic science in solving real crimes from New Zealand.

"We show people how you get the scientific information that can be used in the judicial process," says Simon. There's so much at a crime scene that can be analysed, from DNA, fingerprints and blood splatter to various microscopic evidence. Just the tiniest hair could convict a killer, and that's what intrigues host Simon Morton the most. He told us how his love of science made his work on the show deeply satisfying.I hosted a technology science consumer show on radio in New Zealand, and I guess they saw me as someone who could translate complex science into an understandable narrative.

'Small samples of semen or saliva or blood build really strong judicial cases against an individual.'The series' producers didn't want to give too much away in terms of forensics that might help criminals out in the future. The process of it going to the various agencies for final sign off was pretty intense and frustrating at times because they wanted to slice out elements that were key from a content perspective.
