For instance, conventional serology (the study antigen or antibodies) field analysis of blood group substances was largely used in sexual assault cases during the 1980s (Mosby's Medical Dictionary 8th edition, 2009).…

    Being from a country with a legal system that is a product of combining civil, Islamic & customary law, going to a courtroom and observing a case seemed like a very unnatural and intimidating task. Having no exposure to courts with the exception of dramatized television shows, I expected all who worked in the court to be big scary officials. This idea was proven to be quite the myth when the judge of the murder case I observed dismissed certain issues presented by lawyers with a casual “Peace” or “I don’t want any drama, man.” My peers and I were very confused soon after our arrival to the superior court, as we were intending on observing the famous Michelle Lodzinski murder case, however different employees seemed to have contradicting information concerning the case, varying from a simple “there are no cases going on”, to a “You should…

    The BTK was a very good but sloppy serial killer and it’s only because the lack of modern forensic technology that he was able to kill so many people. He knew not to leave finger prints but left DNA at almost every crime scene. DNA testing in the 1980s was relatively new and took a large sample to create a DNA profile and unlike today where the tests can be done within a day, there weren’t as many crime labs that could process the DNA. The Crime Scene investigators had a lot of evidence to process because the killing spread across the entire house.…

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines justice as “the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments” and “the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity.” Justice is the upholding of what is morally and legally right in the eyes of the law and those that create it. It is the pursuit of truth. And as much as the justice system tries to be efficient and effective in the execution of justice, the pursuit of what is right…

    Introduction DNA testing and identification is the greatest advancement in criminal justice since the process of using fingerprints to identify and convict criminals. Because DNA evidence is almost indisputable, its use in law enforcement has quickly grown. The way law enforcement utilizes DNA evidence is by collecting a sample from a convicted criminal and storing into a database. There are two basic applications of DNA testing in law enforcement; the first involves collecting DNA samples from a crime scene and comparing them to determine if they are a match. The second application involves constructing a database of the DNA from known criminals (Tracy & Morgan, 2000).…
