Finding justice can be hard at times when you can't really seem to find out who did it or why they have done it. Most likely the person will not confess to their crimes. In the passage "Forensic: Evidence, Clues, and Investigation" written by Andrea Campbell, it shows that forensic evidence is one of the most reliable evidences in the court of justice today. These evidences have been practiced for hundreds of years and it is still going strong as of today. The question is, what exactly is forensic science?…
The first piece of evidence Forensic found that strongly supports this theory, was Kate McCann had washed Madeleines beloved soft toy, ‘Cuddle Cat’ a short time after her disappearance. Claiming the soft toy was dirty and had tanning oil lotion on it. If your child had just disappeared, wouldn't you want to hold on to the one thing that represents Madeleine most which holds her scent? Also wouldn't she had washed the soft toy before claiming she had put Madeleine to bed with it. This is very suspicious and almost makes you wonder if Kate is hiding something.…
In Salem, everyone freaked out over witchcraft. It was there in the entire play and it was what the people feared. Whatever there was, the people blamed witchcraft for everything. Both stories also start in the same way. Small groups who did something dumb and then it escalated to something huge that cause people to flip out over nothing.…
Forensic Science: fact or pseudo? Three articles, “Forensic Science Controversies” by Rachel Kaufman published in CQ Press, “Forensic Science” from an FBI handbook on Opposing Viewpoints, and “But it Works on TV” by Sharon Begley from Opposing Viewpoints, discussed in this essay have comparing and contrasting rhetorical elements. Those rhetorical elements are the use of factual data from crime scenes (logos and pathos), contrasting writer credibility (ethos), and different appeals to certain audiences through formality of the articles. To begin, the first rhetorical element that all three articles use is factual data from crime scenes and actual information from case files, appealing to the audiences’ logos. By including these facts in the…
I will argue that Bigfoot/ The Abominable Snowman is not real. No one has any actual proof that they have seen him. The hunt for Bigfoot has goes back to the early 326 BC and still continues today. The only evidence people has of Bigfoot is pictures, where most of them are very blurry. Any of the pictures could be photoshopped or the person taking the photo could have mistaken it for a bear.…
Things do not just pop out of nowhere. Believing in magic performed by a magician is more practical than believing that out of nothing comes nothing. At least with a magician the rabbit pulled from the hat is claimed to have come from a hat as opposed to have just materialized. This first premise is rationally intuitive and a fundamental principle of science. Thus we see the first premise is true.…
Evidence Interpretation Over the years, there have been several cases that have been resolved with a false guilty plea or cases where a guilty party was not convicted of a crime. There are various elements that play a role in solving cases; evidence is a one of these key elements. Many factors can determine if the evidence submitted before a court of law is accurate such as how the evidence is collected, if proper protocell was followed before the laboratory’s handling of the evidence, and if the evidences was accurately processed by the crime scene laboratory by various forensic scientists. Furthermore, with the advances in technology in today’s society, various pieces of evidence such a DNA analysis have been considered a crucial element…
The period of c1886-c1926 saw great changes in investigative methods and thus lead to huge development in policing and how crime was dealt with. Such changes include the creation of the CID, and have shown to have more significance than others. For example, the introduction of forensic science enabled police to convict criminals in multiple cases, such as George Joseph Smith and Dr Crippen, rather than the use of telegram which only showed major significance in the Crippen case. A great flaw in 19th century policing regards the very few investigative methods available to detectives at the time.…
Harris appeals to the reader’s reason throughout the text by offering clear ideas while presenting his opinion. His use of examples supports his theory and helps the reader understand the difficulty of a celebrity’s life from their position. The essay “Celebrity Bodies” by Daniel Harris, is a successful work that can be accredited to its mode, tone, and style. The use of evidence as examples reinforces the reasoning Harris presents.…
Can all information be uncovered by the science of deduction? Sherlock Holmes is a consulting detective who works to prove that it can. Sherlock has the extraordinary ability to reveal characteristics of strangers, simply by observing what most people fail to notice. His skills are expressed in literature, A Study in Scarlet, and motion picture, “A Study in Pink”. Both of these storylines follow Holmes and his assistant as they expose the clues behind a suspicious murder.…
The Kennedy Assassination There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, (JFK). One of the most prominent, is that lone gunman and communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald, on his own accord, took matters into his own hand and singlehandedly planned and executed the President of the United States of America. Another theory was that Oswald was a pawn in a deadly game of politics and mafia wars and was directed by the powers that be to kill JFK, and in an effort to prevent him from ever exposing the plot, he too was murdered in cold blood. Curiously, the theory that weighs in most heavily is that Lee Harvey Oswald was framed for the murder of JFK. Popular conspiracy theories claimed the “government” was behind it and the murder was in retaliation for a political upset, specifically, the Bay of Pigs conflict in Cuba (Polidoro, 2005).…
There are several different anthropic coincidences that explains the overall reason for the belief of the Anthropic principle and how the universe is precisely designed for the purpose of human life, evolution and survival. One of the many different anthropic coincidences is “The Strength of the Strong Nuclear Force”. This theory says that if the strong nuclear force had fluctuated even microscopically stronger or weaker, then the world would have never existed. The strong force holds nuclei together. There are about a hundred naturally occurring chemical elements, each of these elements are jointed together by the strong force to make particles and objects.…
Cozy mysteries and great detective mysteries both show us that people will believe what their eyes see, but to find the truth you need to learn that the physical can be deceiving. It is human nature for us to look at what is presented to us, and believe it. For example, in Agatha Christy’s “The Blue Geranium” and Jacquez Futrelle’s “The Problem of Cell 13” both show characters being misled by the clues left behind. “The Blue Geranium” shows us how clues can be placed to lead you away from the true criminal.…
