Here's the powerpoint covering the Drugs week.  As usual, talk to your friends in class to get the details!

Monday's lecture on the structure of hair and it's use as trace evidence.

Dear 10-18,

Here are the slides and vids from Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.  Enjoy!

Reply to this post with your Innocence Project posts:

1. The name of your exonerated convict.
2. The charge, the date of conviction and the jurisdiction.
3. The evidence that lead to their conviction.  (Which "cause" do they fall under.)
4. What surprised you about the case you studied?

My lecture on Monday, Sept, 26th.  Like any good power point, you can't get ALL the information just from the slides.  Then I could be replaced by a robot.  You'll have to ask one of your awesome teammates to throw you a rope to get all the extra details.  They will be on the quiz!

NB: No actual toolmark analysis gets reviewed in this power point.  PSYCHE!

Here's Tuesday's Power Point lecture for those of you who missed it.  Read after the break for the fingerprint card we used to collect our own fingerprints.

FYI for anyone who missed Crime Scene Investigator Dean's lecture on bloodstain pattern recognition:

Dear 10-18 students!

Sage and Scribe

With your partner, create a 1-page outline of this article in Word. 
One of you should be the Sage--your job is to read the article to your partner.
The other should be the Scribe--your job is to type the outline as y'all work through the article.
Scribes, make sure to be listening carefully to your Sages.
Sages, you should make suggestions to your scribes.
Choose your own outline format from the available templates in "Bullets and Numbering." 

Print your finished products with both of your names in the Header and put them in the front pocket of one of your binders.

Good luck!

Dear Students,

You've got 15 minutes to look at the Official Messy Notes and make your own additions in the comments. 

GO!
