Coulston had gone to a Burwood house under the guise of renting a room in the house that had been ‘advertised in the Herald Sun’2. Coulston had a bag that contained a .22 rifle, ammunition, a homemade silencer and plastic cable ties. Coulston bound, gagged and covered the victim’s heads (using a towel or dressing gown) and shot each in the back of the head at point blank range3.…
Evidence at a crime scene, such as blood, DNA, fingerprints, or shoeprints all help forensic investigators determine what might have occurred and help identify or exonerate potential suspects.…
Forensic evidence has been used since the beginning of investigating. It could be anything from ammunition, to a handprint on the door, to the drops of blood on the crime scene. As seen in “Forensic Evidence” by Andrea Campbell, the indisputable forensic evidence is the best kind to use in a trial.…
Forensic Science is a form of chemistry, Biology and Physics. Forensic science plays a major role in the criminal justice system by getting the evidence of the crime. Investigators can understand how blood splatters, drug traces and even having the ability in identifying a body. Each crime has their own challenges and their unique challenges and differences. Trace Evidence Evidence such as hair, clothing fibers and microscopic particles id the form of trace evidence.…
Forensic Science is a science applied to answering legal questions. Forensic Science can be very important in court trials. For example, if there was a murder case, police could get fingerprints off of the weapon that was used. This is one of many reasons why forensic evidence is the most important kind of evidence. Even though there are many kinds of evidence that can be used in trial, forensic evidence is the most important.…
The evidence that is found at the scene of a crime is considered evidence. One type of evidence that is found is physical evidence. This type can consist of fingerprints, footprints, handprints, tidemarks, cut marks, and tool marks. The Physical evidence is collected by the investigators and packaged and preserved by them as well. A few of the physical evidence that will be reviewed are; trace evidence, fingerprints, and footwear impression and tool marks.…
Physical evidence is extremely important in solving crimes; especially where there are no witnesses to the crime and the victim is deceased of the whereabouts of the victim are unknown. There are various types of evidence that can be collected from a crime scene; the evidence is dependent on the physical evidence that can be collected at the particular crime scene. Basically, evidence that is collected on a crime scene is deemed valuable for the purpose of investigation. From the crime scene the evidence collected may include biological evidence which entails the bloody finger prints implying that blood was shed. Latent print evidence also found in that the finger prints which were obtained were bloody.…

Evidence is a big factor when anybody is trialed for doing something illegal. It is the difference between being accused of being guilty or innocent. In “Forensic: Evidence, Clues, and Investigation” by Andrea Campbell, forensic science is the most important type of evidence to present at a trial.…
Forensic Science is a multidisciplinary that embodies concepts in many areas including but not limited to biology, chemistry, anatomy, genetics, physics, and math. Forensic Science appeals to the natural detective in some people and also to those who like to solve complex puzzles. The ultimate goal is to make sense out of complex problems that require reasoning and involve numerical data, evidence, and uncertainty.…
But what exactly is forensic evidence?How is it used and is it tsken in court? Well for part of it will be taken in court and will be powerd by…
Forensic science helps solve crimes faster, and with the crime rate in every country rising, forensic science becomes increasingly important. The forensic department of a country also reduces the burden of the government in criminal investigations.…
Forensic science has became involved with law enforcement and the evidence of criminal cases. This image has been amplified by books, TV, and movies. It’s misleading because forensic science is supposed to be objective, unbiased, and applied equally to either side of any criminal matter. Forensic science is a major part in the criminal justice system. Forensics experts use what they know to help…
Forensic science is important because this can provide step-by-step analysis of the events leading up to. This is also very reliable in testimony because people are easily scared. For example, physical evidence…
Forensic science, by the meaning of sciences used in legal situations, is evolved around the science itself. In history, most subfields of forensic science started with a scientist expertized in the field related to the case being consulted and explained in the court. The methodologies were later used more commonly in solving crimes and evolved into the more common fields of forensic sciences. Today, while these common fields have specialized personnel to deal with evidence and the court as forensic scientists, these specialized personnel must also have a sound foundation in science, especially the science of their field due to their need for public education, scientific communication as well as researches.…
