The fingerprint found at the crime scene belonged to Alex Garcia, Anna’s former husband. His fingerprint was characterized as a plain arch and that was found at the crime scene. The blood sample at the crime scene belongs to Alex Garcia. The shoe print that was found at the crime scene belongs to is Anna Garcia. The hair sample at the crime scene belonged to Anna Garcia. The reasoning was because the cuticle and the medullas are similar in comparison. The unknown substance found at the crime scene turned out to be Acetylsalicylic acid because it had the same appearance and reaction as an acid. The time of death of Anna Garcia was approximately at 7:00 am. The blood spatter lab concluded that as the height of the blood droplet increases, then the diameter of the blood spatter increases. The DNA found at the crime scene was Anna’s DNA. If you look at the Gel Electrophoresis activity Anna Garcia’s pattern is the closest to the pattern of the crime scene. An inconsistency found in the whole scenario is the syringes. They did not relate to anything that had to do with the

We came to this conclusion not after our recordings of our observation, we also added drops of various indicators to each substance sample. By doing this, we were able to see the various reactions with each indicator to see which substance matched the reactions of the unknown substance found at the crime scene. The substance at the crime scene reacted with bubbling when each indicator, as did the Acetylsalicylic Acid, confirming the identity of the substance At the crime scene we also found a series of blood spatters as well as a pool of blood near Anna’s head. Not only did the blood provide us with DNA evidence, we were able to conduct a series of tests allowing us to figure out whether Anna fell and started bleeding or was already on the

In this paper I will be comparing contrasting two various aspects of forensic sciences used, and talking about the different tactics used to identify suspects; as well as the contrasts between the two methods. The man I will be talking about is John Wayne Gacy. The two methods I will be going over are, Finger print DNA and Forensic toxicology.

The significance of the case is that unless the state specifically spells out what protections you are not afforded under a court ordered protection document, the petitioner having an expectation of protection is incorrect. Jessica Gonzales in fear for her and her children’s safety, having obtained a state protective order was not advised that the enforcement of protection was discretionary. The potential for no enforcement, had she known, would have given her the opportunity to make alternate arrangements, potentially removing or lessening her husband’s contact with the family. Gonzales filed her petition through all the legal channels required by the state of Colorado, therefore satisfying the legal parameters in filing for protection. What

The Richard Ramirez "Night Stalker" case was one of the first major cases to use automated fingerprinting technology (Frese, 2011). Today, the fingerprinting database gives various probable identifications, then a trained fingerprint expert must compare the prints to find a likely identification. Considering that Ramirez's prints were found on the mirror of a stolen vehicle we can conclude that his fingerprints were two-dimensional, therefore the prints are termed as latent or residue prints. The authorities at the crime scene power-dusted his prints considering that is the best physical method for collecting fingerprints. Once analyzed using the ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation and verification) method, the fingerprint expert was able to identify them as belonging to Ramirez.

Although, in our lab report, suspect ones DNA matched the crime scene when cut with enzyme one, this can be explained by how closely related the two suspects are. Therefore two enzymes were used to cut the DNA; the suspect has to match both. Moreover, the limitation to DNA fingerprinting is, if a person were to have an identical twin. This is because identical twins have the same DNA because they come from the same egg. If a suspect’s DNA matched that of the one being tested, and they had an identical twin, a farther investigation would need to be done.
