 Evidentiary continuity also differs from chain of custody. Chain of custody focuses primarily on possession, control, transfer, and handling of evidence. Evidentiary continuity includes those concerns where applicable but extends to the semantic, interpretive, and processing relationships that connect evidence to derived outcomes. Evidentiary continuity also differs from chain of custody.
