Objective: Differentiate between the different types of evidence
Do Now: Is blood evidence 100% conclusive?

Locard’s Exchange Principle
“When a person comes into contact with an object or another person, a cross-transfer of physical evidence can occur.”
![Page 4: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Types of Evidence
![Page 5: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of Evidence1. Direct: firsthand
observations (eyewitness account, video camera, confessions) shows that something is a fact without inference or presumption
![Page 6: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Types of Evidence2. Circumstantial: indirect evidence;
implies a fact, but does not directly prove it requires making an inference
Trace Evidence:a) Physical – bullets, weapons,
impressionsb) Biological – body fluids, plant parts,
hair
![Page 7: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Trace EvidenceSmall but measurable amounts of physical or biological material found at a crime scene
![Page 8: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Examples of Trace Evidence
HairFibersSoilfingerprints
Body fluids (semen, blood, saliva, mucus)Paint chipsBroken glassChemical residue

Categories of EvidenceClass Evidence
Narrows identity to a group of persons or thingsExample: blood type
Individual EvidenceNarrow identity to a single person or thingExample: fingerprint

Your TaskIn your groups complete “Identifying types of evidence” activity.
![Page 11: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ClosureIdentify what evidence you can collect at this scene State whether its biological or physical then state if its class or individual.

Objective: Problems with evidence collection• Do Now: Can you
convict someone on circumstantial evidence alone?
![Page 14: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Case StudyComplete the case study on OJ SimpsonClosure: Do you agree or disagree with the OJ verdict?
![Page 15: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Objective: Observe Locard’s Principle Do Now: What led to OJ Simpsons acquittal?
![Page 16: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Complete the locard’s principle lab in your groups. Closure: Explain locard’s principle to me as if I was absent and didn’t know it.
![Page 17: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Objective: how to process a crime scene
Do Now: What was most useful in analyzing your data in your lab?
![Page 18: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Crime Scene Investigation Team
Who is at the crime scene? Police and possibly a district attorney. Crime scene investigators. Medical examiners. Detectives. Specialists.
![Page 19: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Seven S’s of Crime Scene Investigation
1. Secure the scene. 2. Separate the witnesses. 3. Scan the scene. 4. See that photos are taken. 5. Sketch the scene. 6. Search for evidence. 7. Secure the collected evidence.
![Page 20: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
1. Secure the Scene
![Page 21: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

2. Separate the Witnesses
Do not allow witnesses to talk to each otherWitness accounts will be comparedAvoid witnesses working together to create a storyAsked: who, what, where?
![Page 23: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. Scan the sceneDetermine primary and secondary crime scenes
Primary: where murder took placeSecondary: where corpse was found
Where should photos be taken?Wear protective gear to prevent contamination of crime scene
![Page 24: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Marking Evidence
![Page 25: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
4. See that photos are taken
Show the scene exactly as it was when you first saw itIf something was moved before you arrived, don’t try to reconstruct the scene – just take the pictures the way you see itBe careful not to destroy any evidence while taking photos
![Page 26: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

5. Sketch the Crime Scene
Make accurate rough sketchNote direction (N) and scale of distanceInclude relevant objects (body, doors, windows, furniture, immovable landmarks)Make final copy for court

6. Search for evidenceGrid, strip or lane, spiral search patternUse flashlight to find hair and fibersUse forceps, vacuum cleaner to collect evidence
Grid Strip or Lane Spiral

7. Secure the Evidence
Properly package, seal, and label ALL evidence!Liquid: airtight, unbreakable containersWet items (biological): dry out in breathable containerDry item: bindle plastic or paper containerSeal with tape and labeled with pertinent info
![Page 36: Evidence Collection and Crime Scene Investigation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062305/568162c0550346895dd34fea/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Chain of CustodyIn order to present credible
evidence in court, a chain of custody log is essential. (in real life there is more involved but for this class do as follows)
Bag evidence (seal, sign and date)Fill out evidence log every time you open it.

Objective: Sketch a crime scene
DO NOW: What happens if the chain of custody is broken for a piece of evidence?
