The Criminal Justice Act (1967) allowed for written evidence from expert witnesses to be presented in court. See Adam, A History of Forensic Science, p. 42.

For example, see ‘Murdered boys’ final remains laid to rest’, The Scotsman, 9 May 2009. In 1913 the bodies of two young boys were discovered in a well in West Lothian. The cold water and lime present in the well meant that the bodies were uniquely preserved. Medico-legal specialists, Sydney Smith and Henry Littlejohn from the University of Edinburgh kept some of the body parts for further study. A funeral service and cremation was finally held in 2009 at the request of a relative of the boys.
