After reading the articles in the week, research a crime in which biological evidence was
used. Summarize the evidence in the case and then focus on one type of biological evidence
and the history of this evidence. How has the science behind this type of evidence evolved?
What are some of the limitations of this evidence? What can this type of evidence prove or
disprove to a jury? Make sure to name the case and provide at least one link to information
about the case.Week 6 Learning MaterialsNational Forensic Science Technology Center.
