Investigation Of Criminal Investigation And Trials

I feel that this case was somewhat representative of what was discussed in the textbook. The forensics aspects of this case were generally different from the impression of forensics I received from reading the textbook. Despite this fact, I feel that the investigative techniques of this case were similar to what was discussed in the textbook, as well as what has been discussed during lecture.

The O. J. Simpson double murder case, also titled “People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson was a trial in which James O.J Simpson, a former National Football League player was convicted at the Los Angeles County Superior Court of two murder offenses on June 12, 1994. He was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, a restaurant waiter at Mezzaluna. The trial spans for a period of eight months. The opening statements were read on January 23, 1995, whereas the verdict, which left Simpson a free man, was declared on October 3, 1995. “The Trial of The Century,” as it is commonly known, has been described as the most publicized trial in history. However, before Simpson could be arrested and prosecuted, they had to go through an investigation process with the implementation of some techniques used by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as this essay illustrates.

Probation staff serves as many things. They serve as liaison between the offender , his or her victims and the sate to ensure that the offender completes requirements of their sentence and acts on good behavior. The staff also serves as a guide for the offender and their family. I think judges use presentenced investigation for sentencing to some extent. If the offender has a prior criminal background they might make the sentence a little harsh on them. I would say paperwork if often heard from probation officers. I think PSI serves a purpose. It basically just lets the judge or probation officer know the offenders background and criminal history.

From a trial strategy point of view, you always start with the piece(s) of evidence you believe are most damaging to the client's case and work backwards looking for an exploitable flaw in the search and seizure procedure that would make that or those item(s) inadmissible. The further back in the series of events you can argue a fatal flaw, the more likely that the evidence and any additional materials which flowed from that particular item of evidence will be excluded. This is the practical analysis of all the times we see or hear of law enforcement arguing that there was some technical item which drew their attention and suspicion and justifies their hunch that criminal activity is afoot.

The method of inquiry is based on gathering observable, empirical and measureable evidence. Basically, methods of inquiry are ways that an investigator gathers the information for the case that they are investigating. Methods of inquiry are used in criminal investigation by collecting evidence, statement collection, and going through electronic databases and even the internet. The methods of inquiry are all used in conjunction to reconstruct the crime scene. The methods are also used by utilizing the five W’s, who, what, when, where, and why, and also how. There are three methods of inquiry that are used in an investigation and those are authority method,

The procedure by which criminal conduct is investigated, arrests made, evidence gathered, charges brought, defenses raised, trials conducted, sentences rendered, and punishment carried out.This is the defintion of criminal justice. Too me it means that you pour your heart your mind into every caes you go over the invesgation you look at every detail cause everything could protatine to the case.The invesgatior must go over every detail he must have a keen eye.Gathering evedence is not easy tracking all the leads is rogh long hours. You dont rest untill the find the truth..With the leads some may end to dead ends so sometimes invegators have to go back and see if there a another direction another road to take that they didn't see before.They have too look at every pices of information and just like a puzzle the information will lead to the person or persons who commited the crime.This is where the arrest are made then the person who the evidence thats been gather will pile on top of them.Then comes the charges that will be bougth agaisnt the perparater.

You are going to have to be very vigilant in acting as the judges in this case. Each one of you are a judge for this case . You have to examine all the evidence very carefully and ask yourselves, "Is this reasonable? Is this logical? Does this make sense? Would I look at this evidence the same way. . . ."

On April 05, 2016 at approximately 1518 hours, I was dispatch to 2004 Pine Street in reference to a death investigation. Upon my arrival, I met with Detective Campbell who was the lead Investigator at the scene. Detective Campbell stated that the victim neighbors reported a strong smell coming from the victim’s (Cortiz Lazarz) residence. The neighbors called 911 and Officer Volk was the first responded officer on scene. Defective Campbell and officer Volk stated that the victim located on the living room floor, fazing the south from the residence. Detective Campbell requested I process the scene for evidence and documentation.

Up until 1968, the idiom, ‘Forensic Linguistics,’ had not been used, and it is only since then that law enforcement agencies have recognised the importance that is has upon the ‘analysis of statements’ and of ‘courtroom interaction’ (Ollson, J. (2008, pg. 3-4.) In the past, the application of linguistics to language, crime and law, involved the enforcement of ‘Judges’ Rules’ within the legal system, in which suspects had to ‘dictate their narrative to police officers,’ then the officer would type it out in their own words, which would often result in invalid statements (Ollson, J, 2008, pg. 3.) However, with forensic linguistics having only recently ‘matured’ as a method of analysis, it is now customary for investigators to consider these various possible areas within their research, such as authorship comparison and the concept of plagiarism within texts.

Several investigation agencies adopt different investigation techniques for every crime committed. However, these investigative techniques follow four major stages in criminal investigation which include;
