Primes

• Garbage In, Garbage Out
  • journalism (reporting bounded by source reliability), and legal adjudication (verdicts bounded by evidence quality, hence chain-of-custody).

    This sourceEstablishes that the integrity and admissibility of forensic evidence — and thus the verdict resting on it — are bounded by an unbroken documented chain of custody; a break renders evidence unreliable or inadmissible.

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    The StatPearls chapter backs the legal half: documented custody establishes evidence integrity and its absence can make evidence inadmissible; it says nothing on journalism or source reliability.

    “The chain of custody proves the integrity of a piece of evidence.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
