DirectionsThis discussion provides you with the opportunity to study how fiber and hair has been used in various cases. For this unit, do some researching on cases that have used hair or fiber as major forensic evidence. Review the landmark case in your readings this unit, but try to look elsewhere on the internet. You will tend to find more examples of poor handling than of good, but keep digging; you’ll find some.
Discussion Topics/QuestionsProvide one example in your discussion of good handling of each type of evidence, and one example in which the evidence was not well handled. In the discussion, present brief descriptions of the cases and defend or criticize the manner in which the evidence was used.
Based from what you learned in these cases as well as your text, how important do you see hair and fiber evidence to the majority of crime scenes?
