    Study Notes

    The Importance of Evidence in Criminal Investigations

    • Crime scene investigators gather all possible evidence, such as fibers, hairs, fingerprints, cigarette ends, etc.
    • The suspect claims to never have met the victim but the police and judge believe he is lying.
    • DNA evidence can be used to prove the suspect’s presence at the crime scene.

    Red Hair and DNA Evidence

    • Red hair is a physical characteristic of the suspect that may be linked to the crime scene.
    • Red hair can be analyzed to extract DNA information which can be compared to the victim’s DNA.
    • Comparison of DNA indicates if the suspect’s DNA is present in the victim’s possession.

    DNA: a Key Tool in Forensic Science

    • DNA testing involves comparing genetic profiles
    • If DNA matches, it provides strong evidence of the suspect's presence.
    • This evidence can help to prove the suspect’s guilt or innocence.
