In the O.J Simpson there were a lot of things that went wrong. One of them was the issue of the way they collected evidence it was all miss handled & they didn’t collect with professionalism they just did it but didn’t care they way that they did it but based on that all the case was a disaster. One of the first evidence was a bloody fingerprint that was located in the gateway of Nicole Brown’s house one evidence that the detective didn’t collect it. They kept on going with the investigation & the detective when they switch shift were unaware of how the evidence & the case was going. The forensic scientist in the case collecting the evidence didn’t do right his/her job all the evidence was so sloppy.
The prosecutors’ case is nothing but a precariously built house of cards. It has no reliable witnesses nor any substantial evidence, rather it relies on the sole testimony of the alleged victim Mr Paul Onions, a man whose calibre throughout the case has not only evoked scepticism and self-contradictions during cross examination but has not fit my client’s physical appearance. The defence team subpoenaed credible eyewitnesses whose descriptions of the abductor’s appearance matched Mr. Onion’s initial descriptions which were, “good looking…. smooth hands and face, looked like a bank teller, an eerie type of person, 6 feet tall, fit with broadish shoulders”. These descriptions pointed to criminals including a man from Wollongong whose ex-wife testified of his criminal antecedents such as, paedophilia, domestic violence and being a top suspect to the police for the backpacker murders. Furthermore, the children (Robert and Sarah Somerville) of this same man witnessed their father decapitate, shoot and stab his victims with his accomplices in a forest and as a burial ritual, they would lay their victims faced down, disembowel (eviscerate) them then place logs on them and note that these were the exact nature of the deaths of the 7 victims my client is been scapegoated for. On the contrary, the state tried to rebut such evidence by stating that the kids must have been lored by the

Despite many Western countries having strong law systems and firm roots in Christianity, it might seem peculiar to think they also are obsessed with murder. From Nancy Drew to the TV shows Murder, She Wrote and How to Get Away With Murder, murder and crime investigation have become bestsellers in Western societies. There is just something intriguing about a good “whodunnit” crime, a good mystery that cannot be solved or explained, regardless of how many people and years have been spent speculating on it. In England, one of the most popular unexplained homicide cases is none other than the infamous 1888 murders of Jack the Ripper. While the killer was never found and convicted of the murders, several conspiracy theories have emerged over the years concerning Jack the Ripper’s identity and the motive behind the gruesome slayings.
A segment of the Forensic Science in the Criminal equity organization that the vast majority acquainted with these days, however, few individuals know how this particular science came to be.

In the dark early morning hours on the streets of London’s East End between the months of August and November in 1888, a deranged and depraved person would roam the streets to murder at least five women participating in prostitution in the Whitechapel district. On November 9, 1888, fate would have Mary Jane Kelly brutally attacked at her place of residence and subsequently murdered and mutilated beyond imagination.

Nearly 130 years later, forensic science and criminology experts have failed to agree on the true identity of Jack the Ripper. Hopefully, through psychological, geographical and genetic profiling, a better perspective of who
Today, more than ever, the quality of evidence in criminal cases is scrutinized because of contamination. Contamination is the introduction of something that physically corrupts a substance at a crime scene that was not previously there; it comes in many forms and most often times comes from the humans who investigate a crime scene. It is imperative that prevention of cross-contamination is implemented when gathering evidence. Several of the more sensitive forensic techniques such as trace analysis, bloodspatter interpretation, and DNA comparison are not being used to their fullest potential. Items of physical crime scene evidence are not always visible to the naked eye and may be easily overlooked so deliberate and methodical approach to collection and preservation of evidence is essential. Prosecutors have lost cases due to crime scene contamination; this could be prevented by simple and productive behaviors. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a leading case on physical evidence, stated:
You are in shock. You are confused. You feel indescribable, unbearable pain. This pain is so emotional that it affects you physically too! Someone has ripped your heart out of your chest and made you watch as they relentlessly take a knife to it. All hope is lost. You will surely die from this ordeal. At least you wish you could! Your heart is weak; it drops into your stomach making you nauseated. How will you ever heal? You have been broken.
The concept and study of victims has three distinct eras. The Golden Age of victimology began around 2000 B.C. where tribal law was the rules, regulations and collection of laws and there was no getting around it. Victims would seek revenge and assist in determining the type of punishment, which usually was compensation. Problems with tribal law was as families grew vendettas could lead to banishment of families or families were repeatedly victimized. It was an age of a form of discretionary justice that concluded that this method was not working.
