Wayne Williams Indirect Without Fiber Evidence

Facts: After Williams was arrested for the disappearance of a 10 year old girl police told his counsel that they would be transporting him from Davenport, Iowa where he was arraigned to Des Moines, Iowa where he was to be held with out questioning him about the case. Eventually after talking with the transporting officer he made incriminating statements and gave information on the area that the body of the child could be found. A large team of volunteers that was actually searching around the area where the body was found was then called off

Like the police investigation, there was a lack of forensic involvement in this case as well. Brenton Butler was solely charged based on the fact that, an eye witness, Mr. Stephens identified Brenton as the murderer. Many will declare this case to be racial discrimination and racial profiling, due to the fact that Brenton was a black male like the murderer. Brenton just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the forensic investigation, after finding Mrs. Stephens' stolen purse in a garbage container a mile away from the murder, they should have tested the purse for DNA and finger prints. If they had done this, they would have seen that Brenton Butler's finger prints were in fact not to be found on the purse, instead they would have those of another man and Butler would have been instantly proven innocent.

They found fibers on the body of the victims and they matched them in the suspects vacuum cleaner that was in the suspects apartment he was found guilty.

Trace evidence- very small amounts of certain physical evidence that is found at a crime scene. Example of trace evidence include blood, hair particles, glass, gunpowder and fingernails. The different types of trace evidence are biological and physical. Biological evidence are samples collected at a crime scene that contain biological material. Examples of biological evidence include hair, tissue, bones, teeth, blood, semen or other bodily fluids or evidence containing biological material. Physical evidence is any item that comes from a nonliving origin. Examples of physical evidence includes fingerprints, footprints, tire marks, fibers, paints and building materials. The importance of trace evidence in forensic science specifically hairs and fibers are that they contain DNA, which can be traced back to the origin. An important figure in the history of forensic science was Edmond Locard who came up with the transfer of evidence. He called this Locard’s exchange principle which means that when two objects come into contact with one another a cross-transfer of materials occurs. An example of Locard’s exchange principle can be when jean fibers come into contact with a computer chip and a transfer of materials occurs. In this example Locard’s exchange principle relates to

An appeal to the state appellate court was made by the defense team in this high-profile homicide case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania vs. Zachary Witman; accused and convicted of Gregory’s murder. As a criminalistics expert, I was hired by the defense team to assist with the appeal. Considering the entirety of the prosecution case and all aspects of physical evidence in the available records, the luminal evidence, I felt, was the most damaging to the defense case; strongest aspect of prosecution case. The evidence provided has many weaknesses. One weakness is the lack of photographs explaining what the police officers were “claiming” on seeing at the Witman residence. Based on the reports, it seemed that the investigators relied just on photography.

Dr. King’s trial was one of the most unprofessional investigations in my opinion. The steps taken to obtain physical and forensic evidence were not normal procedure. The FBI and local police did not secure the forensic evidence and protect it like in our present time. Fingerprints are a form of forensic evidence to identify an individual in association with the findings. Francis Galton classified many fingerprint patterns before Dr. King’s assassination but they took it more serious on how they collected the evidence.

After that the trial started with the evidence of a knife found in a pond behind Jason Baldwin’s trailer park. I thought to myself I might actually get some proof now that these boys were linked to these murders. They claimed this was the murder weapon and that the victims’ wounds were consistent with this knife. The State Medical Examiner testified that yes one of the boys wounds were from a knife but the person doing the cutting would need some skill and plenty of light to do what they had done to this little boy.(Paradise Lost) This even confused me more. The police had said the boys died between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. so there would have been no light in the woods of Robin Hood Hills that early in the morning (Free West Memphis 3). The State then brought in an expert, Dale Griffis, in occult killings; later when the Defense cross-examined him we found out he had a mail in order degree from the Columbia Pacific University. (Paradise Lost) He said everything in the killings was

PFC Willems sailed more than 30,000 nautical miles and made 96 port calls in countries including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Dubai and Oman. PFC Willems and the crew distinguished themselves by becoming the first Army watercraft to perform cargo operations in the Port of Duqm, Oman. PFC Williams was an essential member of a team that spent almost 100 days underway and delivered roughly 800 pieces of equipment critically needed by various units throughout the CENTCOM Area of

The case study of Juan is being evaluated and readjusted as Doctor Williams seems to lack the qualifications needed to diagnose and treat this child. The way Doctor Williams has treated this case proves he lacks empathy and morals so this issue needs to be addressed in a different form.

As surely as the possibility of God’s existence is self-evident to mankind, so it seems is the possibility of His non-existence. While virtually every culture throughout history has believed in at least one deity, the arguments for and against the existence of Christianity’s God have raged on for centuries. In his Institutes, John Calvin argued that God planted the knowledge of His existence in the heart of every man, saying:

In the criminal justice system, the best chance of a fair trial and justice lies within cases that include physical evidence. Physical evidence, whether fibers, fingerprints, or DNA, can give a jury proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Physical evidence can convict a criminal, or it can free an innocent man. It can bring closure to families and to the law enforcement that work the cases. The following cases will show what physical evidence does in a criminal trial and the vast impact it can make. For each case I will examine how the physical evidence was important to the case and whether or not it could have made more of a difference if the presentation of the evidence were different. The five cases are: the Mosley case, the Warren case, the

A forensic examination of fiber uses the same analysis of hair. The identification and comparison of fiber depend on a microscopic examination of color,

“Anything is possible, Ms. Montana. However, we won’t have any physical evidence proving anyone is guilty until the forensics come in, which could take a couple of hours.” Officer Bartley said.

Physical evidence collected at a crime scene provides much needed information for a criminal investigator to build his or her case. Since the inception of the Innocence Project in 1992, more than 300 wrongfully convicted people have been exonerated after DNA testing established that the crime for which he or she had been convicted was committed by another (Innocenceproject.org, n.d.). Advances in forensic science makes possible the means to individualize other items of evidence that point to the person or persons responsible for a crime. Dr. Edmond Locard formulated the principle that is the foundation of forensic science: Every interaction leaves a trace. A drop of sweat or a flaked off skin cell could be all that is needed to corroborate a defendant’s presence during the commission of a crime.

Management has the initial obligation to establish that there was enough evidence in the record to support the conclusion there was just cause for the discipline. Procedural due process is not a question of the employee’s guilt or innocence; it is how the company goes about arriving at its decision. The establishment of proof requires the production of Documentary Evidence (e.g., documents, files, written policies), while due process requires an investigation into all the relevant facts and circumstances, including the employee’s explanation, prior to disciplinary action. I did not have an opportunity to present my side of the story and point out mitigating factors prior to the action, thereby eliminating possibilities that may have dissuaded this decision.
