First, you need to provide enough evidence to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Second, you must describe how you obtained your evidence lawfully. In other words, were your searches and seizures in compliant with the Fourth Amendment? And, were your confessions, if any, if compliant with the Fifth Amendment? Do that and you have a bulletproof report. [From publisher's description].
