9:47PM Mon Sep 22 eee wil @S@ 257% @ ) saintleo.brightspace.com alll ie Week 5: This week's Module had you work as a CSI Investigator to solve a number of cases. Let's take some time as a group to evaluate that experience. Fingerprints and DNA are both types of individual evidence. That is, they are specific to only one person. (*Note that recent studies have shown that DNA does differ slightly between identical twins). Eyewitness accounts are not able to be \"proven\" as reliable in the same way as physical evidence but are used in over 20% of cases and oftentimes, are quite convincing in a courtroom and sometimes that may be all that you have... *For your initial response, please answer the following question: If you were an investigator working a homicide scene, and you were told you had to choose ONE piece of evidence to process first in order to work this murder case, which of the following would you choose to immediately collect first (before collecting the other two)? Fingerprints, DNA, or an Eyewitness? Fingerprints: You have a good set of clear fingerprints. DNA: You have some blood in the area to test from. Eyewitness: You have a reliable eyewitness at the scene of the crime (a professor of Criminal Justice or a retired veteran who was a CRM major!) Please list only one as your first preference and then explain why you chose this one as first. Discuss some of the problems or advantages the item you chose might have. *Note: the other two methods may still be collected afterwards but please tell me which one you feel is the most important to gather immediately. (\"There is NOT a right or wrong answer!) *Please use your own words and do not hunt up statistics or scientific articles. The Discussion postings should be in your own words and on what you think about the topic being discussed. Thank you! @ **New this week: you must respond back to a student who chose a different technique than yours! For example, if you chose \"Fingerprints\" then you need to respond to someone who chose either \"DNA\" or Eyewitnesses. WHY? Because | realize some students are struggling with finding \"original\" thoughts when responding to another student. Responding to someone with the same order may result in a lot of \"/ agree with you, as | feel that Fingerprints are the most important too...\" and | don't want to read \"your posting\" twice. | want to see some real thought go into the postings and read as to why you do not agree with what your co-student thinks and feels about the topic this week. *In your response to two students, please respond to a student from each of the other two categories: If you chose DNA, then respond back to one Fingerprints main posting and one Eyewitness main posting. If vou chose Evewitness, thefPr@sD0tTpacn tole ee ints main posting and one
