Case Analysis : Criminal Investigation

There is indeed a crisis to a certain extent in the use of forensic science in the prosecution of individuals in criminal cases; this is because some judges and juries over value the objectivity of forensics, without evaluating the timeline and crime scene as a whole. This was particularly evident in the 1995 case of Mallard. In this case Andrew Mallard was convicted for the 1994 murder of Mrs Laurence, a jewellery shop owner in Perth. Mallard is now considered innocent of the murder; however this innocence was only obtained through two appeals. In the second appeal of Mallards, forensic evidence was put forward, but it is alleged that it had not been properly disclosed to the legal team of Mr Mallard when the trial commenced. Thus one of the

The research paper I am conducting is on Lizzie Borden who was accused of murdering her father and stepmother in 1892 with a hatchet. Due to failed investigation and lack of technology at the time, Lizzie was released and acquitted of all charges. In this paper I will point out what the police did not do properly during the investigation, as well as what I would have done differently.

Jonbenet Ramsey (6 years old) was found murdered in the basement of her home in 1996. She had craniocerebral trauma but died due to asphyxiation. This case gained a lot of attention due to lack of professionalism on behalf of Boulder police officers and the mystery behind who had killed Jonbenet.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the practices conducted by law enforcement during the investigation of the murder of Ashley Smith. The following pages will discuss the crime scene investigation, the evidence collection, the investigative steps following the initial crime scene investigation, the interviews of witnesses and suspects, and other strategies performed by the acting case investigators. Constitutional challenges have surfaced regarding specific pieces of critical evidence and a section of this paper will analyze the admissibility of this evidence. Lastly this case’s law enforcement processes will be contrasted with textbook processes in an effort to determine the validity of the case’s outcome.

I have always loved suspenseful whodunit television shows, movies, and books that use forensic science to crack the cases. My favorite television show is The First 48, my favorite movie is The Silence of the Lambs, and my favorite book is The Body Farm. Therefore, I was excited to have the opportunity to take this course and learn even more about the subject of forensics. This essay gives a summary of N. E. Genge’s book, The Forensic Casebook: The Science of Crime Scene Investigation, and includes the things I disliked and liked about the book.

There were many suspects of who murdered Elizabeth Short, but George Hodel was the biggest of them all.

This is where many people had became convinced George Hodel was the killer, but among the suspects there was seven doctors (Latson) . Although many people had committed to be the killer, one promising admission came a few weeks after the murder from, an army Corporal who claimed he had been drinking with Elizabeth Short in San Francisco a few days before her body was discovered (Hodel). He had became a prime suspect when he confessed in the murder, but evidence emerged that he had been on his military base the day of Elizabeth Short’s death (Hodel). Investigator Walter Morgan had taken over the Black Dahlia investigation, Walter Morgan had done the unthinkable. He along with police detectives, slipped into George Hodel’s house and planted eavesdropping devices all over the house (Hodel). Walter Morgan waited for a long period of time until he finally caught George Hodel talking about the murder, George Hodel was heard saying “This is the best payoff I’ve seen between law enforcement agencies. And I’d like to get a connection made in the DA’s office.” The transcripts no longer exist, but there was more to what George Hodel said, “Supposing I did kill the Black

The purpose of this project is to provide the reader of this paper with a descriptive analysis of an episode of Crime Scene Investigations (C.S.I.). The intent is to show what is provided by the television series of what happens in a crime and what is supposed to happen during a crime scene investigation. The reader should be able to understand during this analysis to what in fact is non-realistic in this television episode and what is reality as determined by what has been researched.

In evaluating Case 3: “The Home Video Game Industry: Atari Pong to the Nintendo Wii”, it soon became evident that choosing a single company would become crucial in unlocking the next level to this Case Analysis. Much research revealed that Nintendo’s array of experience and the changes and obstacles that Nintendo has overcome, made them a great choice for a Case Analysis. This analysis will cover a SWOT analysis: digging deep into the internal strengths and weaknesses, and also the external opportunities and threats Nintendo faces. The evaluation in comparison to the Porter’s 5 Forces Model will determine Nintendo’s ability to rise among its competitors. Finally, the combination of the previous two will aid in

There will always be crimes as long as humanity exist on the planet. However not all crime that is taken place is rightfully justify and correct. There is will be corruption in the justice system which will cause false actuation on the prosecutor. Which could cause harm on one’s life. However, this could be avoided if the evidencewas more carefully reviewed.

Marion: Yes, it was. When I went to them, they were like, “This is how you can do it. You could actually have it for people who are impaired, and they can talk into the system. It will pick up what they want and put it into the right spaces. It will show them. It will say, ‘Pick up from ABC company at 555, this address.’ That address, this floor.

They told us, “You can set a time when they can do that.” You will allow them to do that for 10 minutes. After that, that’s as good as locked. It just gives them more flexibility and it’s simpler and easier. What I liked about it, it also picked up
