Question

Please help! If a forensic chemist discovers evidence through examination which would prove a person guilty of a crime, why then might this person not be convicted?

Answer 1

Explanation: You cannot be convicted of a crime without evidence. You cannot be convicted of a state crime. You cannot be convicted of a federal crime. If there is no evidence against you, under the law, it simply is not possible for the prosecutor's office to obtain a conviction at trial. So, when you do have evidence it is really impossible to not get convicted unless the judge truly believes your side of the story and declares you not guilty.

I hope this helped :) If not i'm sorry!
