The Forensic Lab: Your Hands-On Guide to Evidence Processing
Case Chapter 07 · The Evidence Room
“Evidence doesn’t lie. People do.”
Most conventions ask you to watch. VERDICT asks you to investigate. On August 6–8, 2027, the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee transforms into a national true-crime convention and commercial marketplace. For those who refuse to remain spectators behind the yellow tape, the summit offers an operational add-on: The Forensic Lab.
