    Pictures with measuring markers were taken to show the position of the tool mark and for comparison. Liquid silicone was utilized to make an impression of the tools used on the door. During taking the impressions, I could see the smallest bit of blue fiber hanging from a piece of wood on the door frame. I removed the fiber tapping the sticky side of a post-it to the fiber. I then folded the post-it, labeled it and placed in an manila envelop for evidence. Walking a little further into the domain, you could see what caused the sound of glass breaking, a vase that appeared to be knocked over during the home invasion. The living room was in disarray with couch cushions taken out of the couch, papers on the floor and drawers pulled out of desk. On the desk was a smudge of a latent partial print that I retrieved using black powder and sticky tape. As the victim stated in her report to the officers, I went up to the bedroom to discover the missing jewelry from the jewelry box. Once again latent fingerprints were found on the desk where the Apple computer and jewelry were taken, so again prints were taken off the desk with black powder and placed on sticky tape for evidence. After thorough investigation of the house, I exited the domain to head back to the…

    The Leech and his Patient scene unravels Chillingworth's evil determination to revenge on Arthur Dimmesdale. Dimmesdale is already torturing himself, because the guilt of his role in adultery with Hester Prynne is eating him away. Even though Dimmesdale is ashamed of his sin, he is still unable to confess. Chillingworth is so focused on accomplishing revenge that it could be seen as a “terrible fascination”(103) Hawthorne mentions how Chillingworth “dug into the poor clergyman's heart, like a miner searching for gold”(103) which shows how obsessed and focused chillingworth is on revenge on Arthur Dimmesdale rather than Hester Prynne. Hawthorne refers to Chillingworth's reputation as once a "pure and upright man."(103) however, this actually…

Surreptitious DNA collecting, presentation of partial DNA profiles, and fake DNA evidence; cast doubts on the DNA evidence presented in courts (Schmalleger, 2011).…
