🧭 Evidence Review Pathways

Using sample excerpts from trial transcripts, police reports, witness statements, and appeals pages already introduced earlier, the teacher models 3 analysis pathways teams could use: chronology-first, contradiction-first, and credibility-first. Students then compare the strengths, risks, and likely blind spots of each pathway on a shared planning chart, using legal vocabulary such as corroboration, inconsistency, procedural issue, and source reliability. The class closes by identifying what kind of evidence each pathway surfaces best and what additional records each would require.
