Forensic Science Note


Forensic Science (NTU)

Week 1

  • Forensic Medicine vs. Forensic Science

– Living Body & Dead Body
– DNA, Drugs, Documents, Physical, evidence….

  • Forensic Science is a strong evidence (DNA)
  • Forensic scientists (Theory - present in count - expert witness - convince judge)
  • Verdict given by (UK law system) Judge <- Jury <- local citizens
  • English Law system ==> Default innocent (Presumption of Innocence)

案例(疑罪从无):
Randone 呼叫了救护车,但是当救护车到达时,他的女友Lee已经去世了。在身上发现了300处重击伤和拷打,尸体被送到了法医。

Randone被传唤为蓄意谋杀和拷打,Lee的死因被定义为重击后的窒息。但是,法医在身体中发现了过量的GHB,这改变了最后的判决结果。

因为GHB的存在并不需要证明死因被毒所导致,只需要证明这可能是死因之一,便可以洗清Randone的罪过。
