Nicole Burlington is the spouse of the victim so her touching the item is reasonable but Matthew Maloy touching it is strange especially because we later learned Matthew Maloy shares the same blood type found on the tire iron meaning this was possibly the murder weapon.…

To begin with, one of the YCJA s main aspect is to focus on reducing the overall youth cases by giving consequences that apply to the specific crime. Since the YCJA was put into action in 2003, it has been trying to prevent youths to just be thrown into jail. I think that sometimes jail even worsens the condition of the youth more than it improves it. Statistics Canada shows that from 1991 to 2014, completed guilty custody cases has declined from 30 percent to what is 15 percent now. But what is more interesting is when they YCJA came out in 2003, since then the amount of deferred custody and supervision cases increased, but stayed limited.…

A latent mark is unique to the individual and is an affirmative source of identifying a potential suspect or witness. They also are invisible to the naked eye. Identifying a latent mark at varied crime scenes can be done using different developmental techniques such as wet powder suspensions (Dhall and Kapoor, 2016). These potential marks are then lifted and sent on for further analysis.…
