Paper Instructions:
What does the evidence and/or crime scene tell us about what happened?
Write about the forensic analysis the evidence went through. If blood spatter was analyzed what was looked at? How did they come to that conclusion?
If DNA was utilized what is the process for DNA evaluation?
Was the evidence processed properly? How does the year this evidence was processed compare to the technology we have now? Remember that prior to the 1990’s DNA was not used the majority of the time.
How did the evidence connect to the suspects?
Ex: The DNA that was found on the sock of the victim in the Central Park 5 case connected the previously unsuspected inmate to the victim and location.
Was this case taken to court?
What happened in court? What was the key piece of evidence? What was the judgment?
If this case was not taken to court include what the investigator thought happened and they’re opinion on the case. What was missing from the case? What could have solved the case?
Ex: In the case of Casey Anthony, no DNA evidence was recovered from the victim.
What happened to the criminal/suspect? What time are they serving?
You may include a concluding paragraph with your opinion. But do not put your opinion into the body of the paper. This is RESEARCH, NOT WHAT I FEEL.
