Christopher Vaughn Case Summary

The first emergency worker to arrive saw no traces of blood on the wife, showing she never touched, or attempted to help or console her bleeding husband who had just been shot. Thomas said: "Is it reasonable to expect that a loving wife is going to be there cradling her fatally shot husband?" Her 17-year-old daughter, testified against Walker-Curry at her at the trial, along with Padgett, Hein and Dorty as part of plea deal in Walker's murder. Showing no emotion, the mother watched as her 17-year-old daughter testified against her in court, explaining her mom instructed Padgett to have her husband's wallet removed by the shooter his death make it appear to be a

This officer observed black marks on the back of Agnes ' coat and pant leg. The black mark on her coat was consistant with the driver 's side mirror and the black mark on her pant leg appeared to have been from the driver 's side tire of the silver Subaru stationwagon. Agnes was placed in the rear of the ambulance and transported to Schuylkill Medical Center South Hospital.

The fingerprints of Surratt and Anderson were both tied to crimes involved in this case. The defendants at trial were being convicted on two counts of second-degree murder. The state had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants had killed Cook and Kirby. Cook and Kirby were discovered in a container with a lid that was taped shut and painted over, this was known because of where the fingerprints were impressed. Although their bodies were found, no murder weapon was ever discovered by the autopsies performed showed Cook and Kirby were both killed with fatal gunshots.

There were also a few persons of interest, who may have committed the crime either alone or with an accomplice. There were many things that that were discovered during the investigation, that will eventually lead to the cause of Anna’s death, although it is still unknown. Our findings from the gel electrophoresis, blood spattering, and persons of interest, all led us closer to finding the culprit of the whole mysterious death situation. For the DNA

In this paper I will be comparing contrasting two various aspects of forensic sciences used, and talking about the different tactics used to identify suspects; as well as the contrasts between the two methods. The man I will be talking about is John Wayne Gacy. The two methods I will be going over are, Finger print DNA and Forensic toxicology. These two are very similar, but made substantial differences in the evidence in his case. John Wayne Gacy was a murderer from Chicago, Illinois.

Fingerprint analysis is a method of identifying individuals based on the unique patterns of ridges and valleys on their fingertips. In Dahmer's case, investigators were able to use fingerprints to identify the remains of his victims and link them to specific crime scenes. Fingerprint analysis has been used in forensic investigations for over a century and is considered to be a highly reliable method of identification. It is based on the fact that no two individuals have the same fingerprint patterns and that these patterns remain consistent throughout a person's life. In Dahmer's case, fingerprint analysis was used to identify the remains of several of his victims, including Anthony Sears and Ernest Miller.

Volkswagen “ some jolt which was presumed to have knocked over a gasoline can in the back seat” . she has a totally different perspective than. what officer says. In conclusion of why I think that Lucille miller is guilty for the death of her husband cork miller.

In the lab report three students are tested along with one suspect. Student number two’s DNA matched the suspects DNA. The student’s DNA’s are cut with five different enzymes as well as the suspects DNA. Student two’s DNA matched exactly with the suspects DNA; the other two student’s DNA did not resemble the suspects DNA at all. (Choi, et al, 2008) DNA fingerprinting is used a lot in determining who committed a crime.

In a murder case where an 18-year-old, Sarah Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for committing a first degree murder for both her and dad. The case reopened when a retired crime lab technician Michael Howard “testified that whoever shot Diane and Alan Johnson at close range on September 2, 2003, would have been hit by a "rain" of blood spatter” (http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/03/johnson/index.html?eref=sitesearch). Howard came up with his theories proving that, Sarah was not even close in committing those murders and it is a wrongful conviction. Based on blood spatter, Howard disclosed that the shooting which took place was at a very close range and blood would have been all over the assailant, where as there was no blood pattern found on Sarah’s clothes. In fact, the pajama pant, Sarah was wearing on the day of shooting had no trace of her parent’s DNA or blood.

How do you calculate the effect and counteract the negative impact of a massive logistics center on the economy and environment in Moreno Valley? Well there can be a lot of problems produced by such a project. The main problem is the pollution factor of such a big project. The project takes up plenty of space, one tenth of the city to be precise.

Police searched the houses of all four people and seized a black pen in each. The four pens were sent to a forensics lab to determine which pen wrote the ransom note and identify the kidnapper. In a forensics lab, we - as forensics technicians - use an important technique called Chromatography

Summary of the Incident Only eleven days into his new job as a New Jersey State Police trooper, Justin Hopson witnessed an act by his training officer that would challenge his moral convictions and change his life forever. During a traffic stop in March 2002, Hopson watched his partner arrest a woman for drunk driving who had not even been behind the wheel. Throughout the court proceedings in this case, Hopson chose not to violate his principles, and refused to validate his partner’s version of events surrounding the arrest. From that point forward, Hopson was targeted by fellow officers in an effort to silence him about this event, and other alleged police misconduct.

On December 23, 1981, Thomas Sophonow, a Canadian man, was wrongfully accused of murder. 16 year old Barbara Stoppel was ruthlessly killed at the washroom of her workplace. Unfortunately, eyewitnesses mistakenly chose Mr. Sophonow as being the murderer. Eye witnesses stated that a man, whose appearance was very similar to that of Thomas Sophonow, locked the door and made his way to the back of the shop where he was presumed to have strangled Barbara Stoppel to death. Furthermore, while Thomas Sophonow was in custody, he showed an undercover officer a door locking technique.

Such as presenting the evidence of the two garbage cans were Herring allegedly hid the stolen stereo and car equipment form Peter’s Mustang. The CPD investigator opened two large sealed boxes containing the garbage cans that were located in the alley. The investigator explained the science to the jurors on finding fingerprints on the cans. The police apply a super glue to the areas of the cans where they think might have fingerprints and then use an LAS system which is a laser light they use to find and see fingerprints on objects. The investigator explaining the procedures on collecting the evidence did so in the simplest and clearest way possible.

The Richard Ramirez "Night Stalker" case was one of the first major cases to use automated fingerprinting technology (Frese, 2011). Today, the fingerprinting database gives various probable identifications, then a trained fingerprint expert must compare the prints to find a likely identification. Considering that Ramirez's prints were found on the mirror of a stolen vehicle we can conclude that his fingerprints were two-dimensional, therefore the prints are termed as latent or residue prints. The authorities at the crime scene power-dusted his prints considering that is the best physical method for collecting fingerprints. Once analyzed using the ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation and verification) method, the fingerprint expert was able to identify them as belonging to Ramirez.
