History Expert Testimony DNA Forensics At every crime scene there always some evidence left behind. Forensic Science is application of science to the law, everything from finger prints blood, hair to all in DNA analysis is used. It is the basic root to solving crimes. Forensic science involves many factors relating to the human body and has the most accurate type of convincing when it comes down in the court room. This in return gives forensics specialists to utilize different hypothesis and analysis to solve a crime thus more options are available and possible answers on to who committed crimes and expert testimony can create an accurate picture. Can you imagine a criminal justice system without any technology or advanced uses with DNA forensic systems used to convict or testify in court? The first uses of forensic style type studies and tests to determine began over 100 years ago. First forensic technology/testimony was established in the late 1930’s. By the mid 1940’s there had been a huge growth in the use of forensic science and ability to respond to growing demands from police and new techniques were used. This helped catch criminals and convict suspects who committed crime quicker. Then by the late 1950’s is when this type of study spread over to all areas of England and Western Europe by crime laboratories. Crime laboratories became more common throughout the world in just decades during this era. As more inventions and the more use of technology was introduced huge advances were made in the 1960’s when the improvements of bodily fluids and use of electrophoresis. Electrophoresis: is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. It is used for separation of molecules and Nano-particles. This is used in all aspects forensics, molecular biology, genetics, microbiology and biochemistry.( Bohan, Thomas L.
