This is continuous coverage in the trial of Brian Walsh from the Hidden Killers podcast and true crime today.

Now, Vap to the courtroom.

Thank you. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Could you please introduce yourself to the jury by stating your full name and spelling your name? My name is Saman Salim. S-A-M-A-N. Last name is S-A-L-E-E-M.

And can you please tell us your educational background?

I have a bachelor's degree from Boston College in Biochemistry and a Master's of Science in Forensic Science from Boston University.

And what is your occupation, ma'am?

I currently work as a forensic scientist three at the Massachusetts State Police Crime

Lab within the DNA unit.

And what is a forensic scientist three?

A forensic scientist three is a supervisory position within the DNA unit where I manage other analysts,

forensic scientist one and two, that work within the DNA unit.

So how many people do you supervise?

I supervise six people currently.

And what are your responsibilities in supervising those people?

As a supervisor, I manage their caseload by assigning them cases to work on in the laboratory,

as well as for interpretation of DNA profiles for evidence items that are submitted to the DNA unit.

I also trained them in the methodologies for DNA testing.

For example, if there's any new hires in our laboratory, I would be part of their training program where I would teach them about the laboratory work that's conducted, as well as give them presentations on the theoretical background of DNA testing. In addition to that, I also work on my own cases, so where I'm assigned cases by my manager, and I do the interpretation of DNA testing on those cases and review the cases of other people and what they've worked on.
