Bullet

Upon the reading of chapter ten that a bullet can go into a crime scene from either a right angle or left depending on whether the suspect was shooting the bullet from his or her right or left hand, or holding the weapon in the crime Scene to one side or the other pending what side the gun was drawn on, on the person. If its shot up and down then the weapon was fired straight up and down, if it is at an angle then it depends on the angle of the gun where it had been targeted to be aimed towards,

a firearm is found at a scene it will be rendered safe for processing and transport. The 1st step to render a firearm same is to make sure that the barrel is pointed away from people and towards the ground, just in case it is fired by accident the bullet will hit the ground. The 2nd step is to avoid any smooth surfaces just in case there could be fingerprints or DNA on those surfaces (Tina Young, 2011). The 3rd step is to press the magazine release button to eject the magazine from the gun. Once the

"427, 427, 427...". John came up to a large and black closet and opened a small box containing a lock. "Let's see here... 4... 2... 7...". Click! The lock snapped off. The closet while large and ample, only contained three items: a revolver, some bullets, and a book containing photos. John bent down and picked up the book. Inside the book contained stories long gone from his past. The memories seemed to flash before him, like a slideshow of some sort. The friends, the games, the violence, the killings

It was a Sunday. We had been hunting since Friday after school. We saw plenty of doe, but the only buck we saw was the huge one that we kicked out of Dan Herding's land on Saturday afternoon. A nice big buck with huge horns came out of the cattails. I got two shots off and Dan got three off before it ran into the shelter belt and came out on the opposite side. Dan got at least another six shots off but missed all of them. My uncle Myron followed the buck until it stopped in a tree grove a mile

Trace evidence can be used to link people or objects to places, other people, or other objects. This often serves as a starting point, or lead, for a particular line of investigation (Lothridge, 2016). Trace evidence can include a wide variety of materials, but most commonly tested are hair, fibers, paint and glass. Other, less frequently included items are soil, cosmetics and fire debris (Lothridge, 2016). Dr. Edmond Locard formulated the theory that "Every contact leaves a trace". This became known

on his latex gloves and went to work. Maria was obviously murdered. She was lying facedown with a bullet wound present at the left lower-part of her skull.. A quick look revealed the following clues: a .32 caliber bullet lodged in the ground in front of her nose, and a bullet casing lying to the left of her feet.. “Hmm,” he thought, “fired from close range due to the powder burns.” He checked the bullet casing for fingerprints, but didn’t find

grooves that a gun leaves on a bullet and its shell casing. In terms of human fingerprinting, we could get each print by ballistics matching, finding whether two rounds came from the same gun. This method or technic can be a powerful tool for getting a good result when investigators have a suspect's weapon and can compare a slug from the crime with one test-fired from the gun. Failing that, investigators can use it to link separate crimes. Rae-Dupree, J. (2002). How bullets tell a

On 03 December 2015 at 1048 hours, a call from Casey 's General Store located at 400 Broadway Ave, Godfrey, IL 62035, was placed to 911. Billie Joe Anderson, a clerk at Casey 's stated, "A young woman came into the store and asked me to call the police for a domestic dispute at 900 Indiana." She further indicated that the woman said, "The police needed to go to the 1300 block of Virginia where the domestic dispute will be continuing." Dispatch then contacted Madison County Sherriff 's Department

Physical Evidence Physical Evidence has always been a key factor in solving any crime scene. It is any evidence that could tell the investigators about the crime being investigated. Physical evidence which is found at the crime scene is good evidence to link the details on what occurred. It is also good evidence to find the suspect and also the victim in some cases. This paper will discuss a variety of physical evidence like DNA, firearms and ballistics, and also drug evidence. It will also discuss

that particular gun. The clearness of the markings of the firing pin will depend on the pressure, which is developed by the cartridge. Another identification method is using breech marks. When the ammunition is fired, the explosion causes the bullet to get forced down the barrel and the cartridge casing is forced back against the breech. The impressions that this leaves on the casing are unique to the individual gun’s breech. Examples of breech markings include vertical, sandblasted, mottled
