El proceso penal incorpora elementos de las ciencias forenses, que se emplean para realizar los fines del propio procedimiento. La función de la acusación tiene una serie de particularidades, en relación con las cuales la aproximación que se realiza a esta tarea es un factor fundamental a la hora de hacer realidad los principios de justicia en el ámbito penal, desde la perspectiva tanto de las autoridades judiciales como del acusado. Los mecanismos que proporciona el sistema de justicia penal aseguran un equilibrio entre, por un lado, la acusación y la defensa y, por otro, entre la acusación y la resolución. El presente artículo se centra en ciertas características de la función de acusación en el marco de los procedimientos penales, así como en la manera en que se ejerce por medio del recurso a las ciencias forenses. Para alcanzar los objetivos propuestos, se ha empleado una metodología de investigación mixta, basada en un método cualitativo con influencia del estudio de caso y conclusiones obtenido de el análisis de la jurisprudencia en decisiones pronunciadas por los tribunales de justicia en materia penal. En este contexto, las ciencias forenses ofrecen medios y mecanismos jurídicos para que los órganos judiciales logren el objetivo del procedimiento penal, en pleno ejercicio de la función de acusación.
