EDMOND LOCARD
Forensic Investigator in the early 1900’s Stated that whenever 2 objects come into
contact, there is always a transfer of material (this is evidence!)
Strongly believed that a criminal could be connected to a crime by trace evidence collected at the crime scene
He also believed that the only way a criminal could not be connected to a crime scene was the following reasons: Methods of detection may not be sensitive enough Decay rate may be so rapid that all evidence of
transfer material vanishes after a given time.

THE “FATHER OF TOXICOLOGY” ORFILA
Developed test for the presence of blood
He was the FIRST to use a microscope to assess blood and semen stains
He was an intellectual elite: chemistry professor, dean of medicine and medical expert in criminal cases

CRIMINOLOGIST AND ANTHROPOLOGIST
Created a system using physical measurements to identify criminal (before his time eyewitness testimony was the only way)
Paramount in creating a system to photograph crime scenes in a way so that they can be analyzed

evidence to be convincing- hair, fiber, soil, glass
Individual Can place a suspect
at a crime Scene- fingerprints, DNA, handwriting, voiceprints

CRIMINAL JUSTICE & THE LAW
![Page 8: H ISTORY OR F ORENSICS & L AW Determine differences between class and individual evidence Learn historical developments in forensics. Understand the steps](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee85503460f94bf9a77/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
STEPS IN PURSUING JUSTICE1. Crime is committed2. Crime is discovered3. Suspect may be indentified4. Crime is investigated5. Information is collected6. Crime scene is documented and evidence is
collected7. Information is assembled into a report for the
prosecutor8. If there is enough evidence, arrest warrant is
issued
![Page 9: H ISTORY OR F ORENSICS & L AW Determine differences between class and individual evidence Learn historical developments in forensics. Understand the steps](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee85503460f94bf9a77/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
AFTER A SUSPECT IS ARRESTED….
1. Arrested2. Booked-basic information3. Fingerprinted4. Photographed5. Informed of his/her Miranda rights6. Arraigned (within 72 hours)-hear charges &
enter a plea, bail set and rights understood Guilty- preliminary hearing-no jury-judge sentences Not guilty- Judge decides if there is enough evidence
to take to court (evidence hearing)7. Indicted = trial

YOU’RE CRAZY!
Not guilty by reason of insanity Defendant is “unable to
appreciate the nature and quality of the wrongfulness of his/her acts”

PLEA BARGAINING
-90% of all cases are plea bargained
Means the defendant and the prosecution work out a deal about the sentencing without going to trial

USING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN COURT (THE FRYE AND DAUBERT STANDARD)
1. Technique of theory must be testable
2. Must be subject to peer review
3. Rate of error must be given4. Technique must follow
standards5. Technique must attract
widespread acceptance within scientific community
