Extractions: SERVICES Daily E-mail News Ticker Mobiles/PDAs Feedback ... Low Graphics Anthrax attacks A Newsnight investigation raised the possibility that there was a secret CIA project to investigate methods of sending anthrax through the mail which went madly out of control. The shocking assertion is that a key member of the covert operation may have removed, refined and eventually posted weapons-grade anthrax which killed five people. In the wake of Sept 11th, the anthrax attacks caused panic throughout the States and around the world. But has the FBI found the whole case too hot to handle? Our science editor Susan Watts reported from Washington. SUSAN WATTS: America's anthrax attack last autumn was second only to that on the Twin Towers in the degree of shock and anxiety it caused...Some even say the anthrax letters triggered sub-clinical hysteria in the American people...yet this, the first major act of biological terrorism the world has seen remains an unsolved crime... Initially the investigation looked for a possible Al-Qaeda or Iraqi link, then to a domestic terrorist, then inwards to the US bio-defence programme itself. But in the last four or five weeks the investigation seems to have run into the sand...There have been several theories as to why ...

Guilty Sequence for the prosecution have published their account of the materials, methods, and analysis they used during the criminal investigation. http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/01_03/hiv.shtml
Extractions: The story, according to prosecutors, went like this: Schmidt arrived at his former girlfriend's house the night of August 4, 1994, and gave her what he said was a vitamin injection. Six months later, when the victim tested positive for HIV, she accused the doctor of infecting her. Circumstantial evidence indicated that Schmidt had injected the victim with blood drawn at his office from a male patient infected with HIV. DNA fingerprinting has been widely used to link human suspects to crimes. This trial was different, however, because the virus mutates so rapidly that in a matter of hours its DNA fingerprint can change significantly. The case marks the first time this type of evolutionary analysis, called phylogenetics, has been admitted as evidence in a US criminal court. Scientists for the prosecution said they found strong evidence that HIV had been transmitted from patient to victim. Scientists for the defense disagreed.

Extractions: Introduction "Proof" is the establishment by evidence of a requisite degree of belief concerning a fact in the mind of the trier of fact or the court. Proof is the logically sufficient reason for assenting to the truth of a proposition advanced. In its judicial sense it is a term of wide import, and comprehends everything that may be adduced at a trial, within the legal rules, for the purpose of producing a conviction in the mind of judge or jury, aside from mere argument.

Extractions: JUS 315 Criminal Investigation (3 semester hours) This course is designed to provide students with the basic theoretical and philosophical understanding of the investigatory process. Analysis of problems encountered in interviewing, interrogating, evidence collection, and admissibility will be examined. Application of investigation theories to the administration of justice will also be developed. (Prerequisite: JUS 205) COURSE PURPOSE: T his is a didactic (classroom lecture) and experiential (outdoors) course on the fundamental and advanced features of investigation, duties and responsibilities of the detective, interviewing, interrogation, and information-gathering skills, crime scene analysis, collection, preservation, and testing of evidence, surveillance and undercover work, raid and sting operations, modus operandi, use of technology, types of evidence, and the science of criminalistics. Emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary and forensic use of knowledge from the natural and social sciences, as applied to prevalent crimes such as homicide, burglary, arson, and sex offenses, but there is also some emphasis upon emerging forms of criminality such as computer crime and terrorism. There are a small number of lectures, and some instruction involves video, practical demonstrations, role-playing, laboratory experiments, and simulated crime scene analysis.
Crime Scene Investigation Books--General Information is labeled by name of criminal, forensic technique development of major forensic methods and their Science Evidence, Clues, and investigation (Crime, Justice http://www.crime-scene-investigator.net/general-books.html
Extractions: Writing for a general audience, Owen (a journalist) looks at 40 infamous crimes and the investigations that followed, outlining the history and current application of forensics in law enforcement. He offers detail on the scientific procedures used in the various casesfrom gathering elusive clues to examining weapons and bodies, to DNA testing. Cases include the Lindbergh kidnapping, the crash of PanAm 103, the trial of O.J. Simpson, and the Oklahoma city bombing. The book is attractively designed, every page illustrated with color photographs. Anyone can summarize a collection of cases, but not everyone can make them read well. With a flair for compressed narrative worthy of a good short story writer, Colin Evans entertains and instructs the reader with 100 cases that exemplify the use of 15 different forensic techniques (ballistics, fingerprinting). Some (like the Lindbergh case) are famous, others are barely known, yet each has some unique twist that sets it apart. Many "firsts" are included, such as the first murder conviction without a body, the first use of psychological profiling, and the first use of DNA typing. Evans also brings out the distinct (often flamboyant) personalities of the pioneering experts of forensics and some of their more notable courtroom theatrics. Each case is labeled by name of criminal, forensic technique, date, location, and significant feature(s), making this a useful reference as well as a fun book to read.

Extractions: The seizure of property is a practice long used by governments. For example, in English common law, the value of an inanimate object could be forfeited to the English Crown if that object caused the death of a person. Therefore, the forfeiture of property was generally justified as a penalty for carelessness. This tradition and justification has, over time, merged with a belief that the right to own property could be denied an individual who engaged in criminal conduct. The forfeiture sanction is a legal concept that involves the application of procedures resulting in the transfer of the ownership of property to the government. Many of the criminal laws enforced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) contain forfeiture provisions. Some of these forfeiture provisions are excellent deterrents, for example, forfeiture under federal drug laws and under money-laundering laws. Other provisions may be used infrequently, including forfeiture of prison-made goods illegally transported in interstate commerce. The seizure of property by law enforcement authorities generally is permissible when the property is evidence of a crime or is subject to forfeiture. The seizure of property for forfeiture implicates tenets of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the United States Constitution. The proper method of seizure of property, for example in a civil forfeiture action, depends upon the methods permitted in the relevant statute, the location of the property, Department of Justice and FBI policy, and whether or not exigent circumstances are present. It is FBI policy to seize property for forfeiture pursuant to a seizure warrant.

Extractions: Transdisciplinary Seminars on Law, Probability and Risk 7th-9th May 2004 ABSTRACTS Ivo Alberink Validation of the operating procedure for the taking of ear prints The Netherlands Forensic Institute is a participant in the EU project on Forensic Ear Identification, FearID . For this project, a large data set of ear prints is being collected from donors from several countries. For this collection, it is important that samples are representative and that the investigator, or operator, who is giving instructions and dusting the prints, has little or no personal effect on the resulting ear prints. We tested reproducibility and repeatability aspects of the standard operating procedure for the collection of the prints. I will talk about an experiment that we did using different operators taking several ear prints from several donors in order to do this analysis. Annabel Bolck Drugs Sampling When a large consignment with possible illegal units is found, often samples are drawn to determine whether indeed the consignment contains illegal units. In many cases simple rules are used to determine the sample size. These rules include the 10% rule (take 10% of the total consignment) and the square root rule (take as many samples as the square root of the total number of units in the consignment). These rules have no statistical foundation and make it hard to explain in court why exactly that number of samples is analysed. Sample sizes based on statistical methods, however, can provide a more scientific basis for the evidence presented in court.

Extractions: Gang Characteristics and Growth Traditional Gang Enforcement Fails Effective Gang Enforcement Stanfield and Boardley Investigations ... Bulletin Home Traditional Gang Enforcement Fails King Gang Investigation The King/Ricks/Meredith (King) gang's potential danger and threat were investigated by the Baltimore City Police Department's (BPD's) Drug Enforcement Unit. Surfacing in 1982, the King gang initially seized control of Hoffman and Holbrook streets. For 2 years the gang grew, bringing a significant section of east Baltimore under its control. When the gang was successfully prosecuted, 47 members were convicted, 5 murders were credited directly to the gang, and $1.8 million in assets were identified, targeted, and seized. The King investigation used the traditional BPD narcotics investigative approach. Members of the Criminal Investigation Division Drug Enforcement Unit and agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration used informants, cooperating witnesses, and police officers in undercover assignments to penetrate the gang at its most vulnerable point: the lines of distribution. The investigators infiltrated the gang and purchased heroin from key members, including King, the leader. A further mark of success was the police department's aggressive postarrest pursuit of the gang's financial assets.
