Forensic Evidence That Led To The Murder Of Scott Peterson

Case 1: Name of Case (Hair): Murder of Leanne Tiernan Victims: Leanne Tiernan Suspects: John Taylor Connection to case: Tiernan had a scarf around her neck that had a few hairs attached to it. There was no sufficient DNA from the hair but they matched the mitochondria to John Taylor. Case 2: Name of Case (Fiber): Murder of Nancy Titterton Victims: Nancy Titterton Suspects: John Fiorenza Connection to Case:

Topic: Azaria Chamberlain By Laura Winkler Deep Question: Question: How did the forensic scientists get it so wrong (evidence) and why did they convict her on the 2nd inquest if there wasn’t enough evidence that sufficiently supported the murder of Azaria Chamberlain. Shouldn’t everyone have the right to be innocent until proven guilty? Evidence carries weight and the weight of the flawed forensic evidence in Lindy Chamberlain’s trial sent her to prison. The story of Lindy Chamberlain has changed quiet a lot throughout the last 30 years with the advancement of technology and science.

Again, if this crime was committed when we knew more about DNA, the defendant would probably have been found

Those who have been accused of a crime can be proven innocent with evidence through helpful witnesses. In January of 1999, Adnan Syed was accused for the murder of his ex girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, whose body was discovered in Leaken Park by a man we address as Mr.S. Adnan was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. The proof and evidence aiming towards Adnan’s guilt, is outweighed by the evidence and time alignments in which he is innocent. Syed did not kill Hae. The police have no physical evidence of Adnan being the killer.

The Scott and Laci Peterson case is about his wife getting murdered (Laci) with their eight month old year baby. In December 24, 2002 Laci Peterson was called in missing from her home in Modesto, California. Her husband called in to report it; he says when he returned home she was nowhere to be found after his fishing trip. Although, he told Laci’s half of the family that he went golfing at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo where his wife attended college there. Her body was found in the San Francisco Bay about four months later.

The next Laci’s body parts were also found ashore. Her torso, missing her head, hands and feet washed ashore in the same area. However, doctor could not specify the cause of death because of the decomposition of the body. On April 18, 2003, Scott Paterson was arrested.

Frey worked with police to record conversations she had with Peterson through the phone hoping to receive a verbal confession but with no success. Still though, the recording were still used during the trial revealing that he claimed to have been visiting Paris during the holidays but was actually attending a candlelight vigil in California for Laci. The bodies of Laci and Conner were found on April 13, 2003 on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay where Peterson had previously been boating the day Laci

The answer could very well be yes. As The Murder of Laci Peterson played out in six parts on the A&E network, new information became available to the public. The case was brought to national television in 2004 when the young mother-to-be went missing on Christmas Eve morning. Something wasn't right, and her family knew it.

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.

When found, her body was unrecognisable according to the Police Officer in charge of the investigation, Inspector Wayne King. Within three days (Thursday 26) of the body being discovered,

The nonfiction book, Jumped, Fell, or Pushed: How Forensics Solved 50 “Perfect” Murders, is an informative and well written book by the author, Stephen A. Koehler. Okay, you get two options, take Mr. Laney’s forensic science class at Lincoln High School or read this book. If you don’t know anything about Forensics, this book gives a sufficient overview of the subject and its counterparts. There is no main plot or developing characters within the book. The type of evidence varies from chapter-to-chapter, as well as the forensic technique implemented to analyze that evidence.

Pamela Foddrill: Examining the Investigation Introduction The tragic abduction and death of Pamela Foddrill beginning on August 18th, 1995, relied on investigators from the Indiana State Police, FBI, multiple Greene County police agencies, and Greene County Prosecutors to arrest and convict the five individuals who committed this heinous act. Those who were arrested and eventually convicted for different criminal offenses are Roger Long, Jerry Russell Sr., John Redman, Wanda Hubbell, and Plynia Fowler. One could look at the investigations these agencies completed and evaluate them in two phases, forensic evidence and investigative processes.

When a crime is committed there are multiple ways investigators can gather their evidence. Testimonies, direct evidence, circumstantial, and even physical evidence; theses are all different yet effective types of evidence investigators can use. Although none of these methods are incorrect ways of collecting evidence, in “Forensic: Evidence, Clues, and Investigation” by Andrea Campbell, she states that forensic evidence is the most important and useful. Forensic evidence and physical evidence are the same thing. It is the physical characteristics of someone or something that has been left behind and can be traced back to them.

This DNA sample was tested to determine if the DNA left on Mary Sullivan was a match. This proved to not be a match. This shows some suspicion to the final verdict of the

Some people enjoy jigsaw puzzles and other like logic puzzles, but for a select few, the real puzzles are ones made of blood, flesh, and bone. Since the expansion of media, forensic scientists have been faced with the problem of television inaccuracies and their psychological effects in the courtroom. This problem has arisen from flawed portrayals of evidence gathering and testing that have confused viewers as to the real capacity of forensics. While multiple attempts to resolve this issue and re-establish impartiality have been made, none have yet succeeded, leaving analysts to do their best to control the damage and face the possibility of that being all they can do. As shows like CSI and NCIS project distortions of forensic science that
