Why is it best to have the least number of people possible come into contact with a piece of evidence? Give two reasons.
What will be an ideal response?
First, the fewer the persons, the less chance that the item will be tampered with, altered, or lost entirely. Second, each person who comes into contact with the item may have to be called a witness, which often proves to be time-consuming and could cause the jury to lose interest. If one person is unavailable to testify, the chain cannot be proven, and the item may be excluded.
