3 4 page paper about how forensic science was used to solve the case

Many high-profile crime cases have been solved using forensic evidence or because of new forensic techniques that were just being introduced. Please select a high-profile case (criminal or civil) and write a 3 – 4 page paper about how forensic science was used to solve the case or provide new investigative leads that would ultimately lead to the case being solved.


Topics that must be addressed:

  • What were the circumstances of the case?
  • How was forensic science used to solve the case?
  • Explain how the forensic science technique works.
  • Was this area of forensic science new or had it been well-established?
  • What was the outcome of the case?
  • What were the social/cultural/scientific implications of the case?
  • Was this a cold case or a current case?
  • Was a forensic database used? What are the legal implications of these forensic databases?
  • Did the jury weigh the forensic evidence heavily during deliberation?
  • Was this area of forensic science used in other high-profile cases?
  • Was this case used as a precedent in the future?

As you can see in the instructions there is many topics u can choose which ever you want, but I think this two are more interesting

  • How was forensic science used to solve the case?
  • Explain how the forensic science technique works.
