Abstract
  The importance of scientific evidence in criminal investigation is now increasing, and more and more novel techniques are introduced in forensic science field. So, the court has great difficulty in determining the admissibility of scientific evidence. The situation will get worse after when a big reform of the court will begin in 2009 because citizens not being trained for the judicial judgment will participate in the court. In order to solve this problem the efforts of the court and forensic scientists are needed.
