CRJ 311 week 4 DQ 1
Ashford 5: – Week 4 – Discussion 1
Bite Mark Evidence
Bite marks are no longer considered a way to specifically identify someone, but it can be used to exclude or include a person of interest. As a juror on a homicide case, you have heard an odonotologist discuss the bite mark evidence located on the victim and how the suspect cannot be excluded as to whom the bite mark belongs. Review the bite mark photo (below).
If your last name begins with A-L, argue your opinion as to how the bite mark would possibly exclude the suspect.
If your last name begins with M-Z, argue your opinion as to how the bite mark would possibly include the suspect.
The body of your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from this week’s required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
