INVESTIGATION - An organized, cognitive process to determine the truth.(Tom Chase)
ACCUSATION - The act of accusing or state of being accused. (Dictionary.com)
The detective's job is to OBJECTIVELY conduct a comprehensive and unbiased enquiry. That effort is then documented in the investigative report.
When the facts are there the investigative report takes you through what happened and leads to a conviction.
When the facts are not there, the investigative report serves as the template for how the defense will fulfill its responsibility to competently and zealously represent the accused.
OBJECTIVITY is the key.
When the report is written OBJECTIVELY, that narrative documents an INVESTIGATION. When the report is written SUBJECTIVELY, that effort is an ACCUSATION. The TRUTH is established through INVESTIGATION not ACCUSATION.
The State has tremendous power when it chooses to arrest someone. When an arrest is pursuant to an INVESTIGATION, that is justice. When an arrest is pursuant to ACCUSATION, that is when you need an EXPERIENCED, COMPETENT private investigator.
