    As Paul and his girlfriend sat in jail, they did not know that Norman would come pick them up. When he did, though, Paul was speechless. Most of it was that he did not want to talk about his arrest, but a small part of it may have been his shock that Norman would come to pick his own brother up from a jail. Many times, people with brothers would not think of going to get his or her brother from a jail. Norman cared deeply for Paul, and he understood Paul, so when the desk sergeant at the jail told Norman that they were picking him up too much and that Paul was “drinking too much,” Norman had had enough with people telling him about Paul's troubles (26). This is more proof that Norman understood Paul. He understood him enough that he knew about Paul's trouble and was tired of people telling him about stuff that he already knows, but as Norman learns more about Paul's drinking, the more he wants to help him. So he tries.…

    What is criminal evidence? Criminal evidence is any exhibit or testimony that will identify guilt, blame, or fault in a criminal case. In many cases, it is questioned upon what actually constitutes “acceptable” evidence (Ellis, 2008). From time to time there have been many cases which have been thrown out, and criminals who have gone free, because the evidence was “corrupt” so to say. To be sure of whether the evidence presented is admissible, one must adhere to but not limited to one of the following: the exclusionary rule, and the fruit of the poisonous tree.…

    On 10/02/2013 the Champaign County Coroner’s Office was called regarding a dead body located in a home on the corner of Bluff Street and Clark Avenue. The body was found by the neighbor of the deceased male, when the neighbor went to visit him and got no response. The body was severely decomposed so the neighbor had a hard time determining if the body was that of his neighbor. I was called and assigned to the case and immediately checked to see if there were any survivors or suspects in the area. There were no survivors but a possible suspect was detained. Next, I roped off the crime scene to keep the area from being contaminated. The first thing I noticed while collecting the evidence was that a large knife was missing from the knife block in the kitchen. The team also noticed that there was a reddish substance on the blunt end of a hammer found in the garage. While taking photographs of the crime scene, I noticed there was a series of bloody fingerprints on the body of the deceased. After taking numerous pictures of the fingerprints and making copies using porous material techniques, mid-range, overall and close-up photographs were taken using scales and evidence markers. Blood spatter and a bloody shoe print were also collected from the crime scene. However, the same night 10/02/2013 at 10:45 pm, there was fire on the premises and destroyed all the evidence.…
