Both local law enforcement and the federal government progressed through a variety of “procedural and structural changes” (Marks 166).

1. Discuss at least three ways that evidence/crime scene was mishandled and could have been managed better. One of the main evidence that was mishandled by the prosecution were DNA tests.

The due process model reflects that police powers should be limited to prevent official oppression of the individual. This model allows for the criminal justice process to look like an obstacle course consisting of a series of impediments that take the form of procedural safeguards that serve as much to protect the factually innocent as to convict the factually guilty (Zalman, 2008).
