My Story

Crux Intel was born from an experience during one specific case while I was with the FBI. While I am prohibited from disclosing details, I can disclose that after meticulously reviewing all the evidence, I became convinced that the person being prosecuted was innocent. The evidence didn't support the prosecutor's claim, yet I was asked to testify to support the accused's guilt. I refused to compromise my integrity, and refused to contribute to a likely unjust verdict. As often the case, the accused had no expert to testify on their behalf who could challenge the prosecution’s claims or present a proper forensic defense. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence, they were found guilty.

 

This case demonstrated a larger systemic issue that left someone wrongfully convicted and left me with a deep feeling of injustice all because of a lack of access to credible expert analysis. How could there be a fair trial when one side has a team of experts and the other had none? It remains clear to me that the lack of experienced and accessible defense experts creates an imbalance in the justice system. Many people who face accusations, especially those without financial means, are left defenseless because they either cannot afford an expert or unable to find one with legitimate forensic experience.

 

It was this moment that sparked the idea for Crux Intel — a practice dedicated to providing the expert forensic support that makes the difference between justice and injustice.
