Dr. Wecht part of all-star lineup
Dr. Wecht will attend a conference of the nation's leading forensics experts May 7 at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Fla. The all-star line-up of speakers wil include Dr. Wecht, naturally, Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter and other notables such such as Dr. Henry C. Lee, Dr. Michael Baden and Barry Scheck.
"One cannot overstate the value of forensic science in our search for truth in criminal, civil and family medicolegal investigations and court proceedings," Dr. Wecht said. "This conference is designed to explore and inform professionals and academics, from a variety of disciplines and fields, of the value and scope of forensic science as a powerful investigative tool," he said.

"Mortal Evidence" pure Wecht, paper says
The Pittsburgh Tribune Review describes Dr. Wecht's new book, "Mortal Evidence: The Forensics Behind Nine Shocking Cases," as thorny, provocative and compelling, calling it "pure Wecht." But while its touted as a book for those who enjoy the "C.S.I." television shows, the Trib says it goes far beyond that medium.
The book dissects cases Dr. Wecht has worked on ranging from the well-known such as O.J. Simpson to the lesser-known like the "Teenage Baby Killers" from Newark, DE. Check out the Trib's review at Cyril Wecht shocks, intrigues with 'Mortal Evidence'.
