Back on April 15th, our 17th Criminalistics III students went through the paces of working their final mock crime scene for the year. They worked as a team, as they have in the past, to properly document the scene, collect and process various type of physical evidence. The skills that they practiced were skills that they have learned over the past three semesters and include: crime scene photography, basic diagramming, evidence collection and packaging, latent fingerprinting, casting of impression evidence, bloodstain examination and identification, body fluids identification, and basic blood spatter analysis.
Following their exercise and completion of their written reports and related documentation, each student was then put through a mock courtroom exercise where they were presented as a witness for the prosecution, followed by some intense cross-examination by the defense.
Another great cohort of students who have learned and also bonded with their team/classmates! Great job # 17!
