Roger Le Breton

Roger Le Breton (* 1914 ) is a French forensic doctor .

Le Breton received his PhD in France in the late 1930s. After that he was director of the toxicological laboratory of the Paris Police Prefecture .

During the Jaccoud affair he stood at the side of Pierre Jaccoud ; he criticized Erik Undritz's blood tests , including a Coombs test , violently, but in vain. Regarding the Undritz method, he said:

"Are you allowed to base your judgment on such a procedure that, even if it were correct, would have to be tried and tested for a long time before one could condemn a person with it ...?" .

Le Breton was also involved in the Robert Boulin affair and in the Poitiers affair (1984 to 1988) as an expert national honoraire . He worked as a forensic doctor until the 1990s.
