In this episode, Jo talks about her incredible forensic science journey. From her early days with the Edinburgh Police Forensics Laboratory, honing her Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) knowledge and skills with Miami Dade Police, working on high-profile cases in the Homicide Unit of the Forensic Science Service in London, to moving to the private sector and starting her own consultancy Millington Hingley and BPA education/training company, SPATTER/ED. She also discusses her impactful work with Inside Justice, a charity focused on investigating wrongful convictions, her work setting up Europe's first forensic science service dedicated to investigating crimes against animals and the important work of her four-pawed support team.
