Free College Every Day - Forensic Science and Crime Scene Investigation

[AtlantaGirl]

Thank you so much for this video. I started out my degree in Criminalistics and changed it but am realizing that I really love Forensics, so I'm switching back, but I wanted to learn more while I do my classes. This was really informative and cool!

Professor Carroll. This is a great video. The take issue with only two things here:
1. When you are doing the phph test, I would not have used the same swab to extract two different blood spots at 11:04, and
2. I would not have discarded the cutting from the fabric at 25:33, if only to establish later by way of mechanical fit that the fabric cutting came form that shirt, and not another shirt.

Even though the first test is only a presumptive test for blood, it does show that two stain extracts were commingled, and before they were tested. Also, even though I agree that the fabric should contain no other semen after it has been centrifuged, it looked bad to see and hear a forensic scientist "discard" tested evidence.

Of course, you are following your lab's procedures, but I can easily see a defense attorney making an issue of either of theses things, especially claiming that the cutting may have also contained exculpatory evidence. To a skeptical jury, that would sound reasonable, and all an attorney needs to get an acquittal is reasonable doubt.

Stumbled up on this video somehow and I'm really glad that I did because this video is quite informative to me as it's what I'm looking for in basics of experimenting these tests, thank you! ^^

I so want to go to school for this and get out there and help people.

I'm so glad I got into CSI at this time it triggered me to go back and study forensics science. Its soooo helpful and I really love it.

Watched on the last day of 2019. She explained and demonstrated the processes very well.

I'm a freshman in High School. Hoping I'll work in forensics someday, and this was a great help! Guess we'll see if I actually end up in this career

[Karolynmariee]

this was actually so interesting to watch.

Hello!
First of all this is an amazing video and it teaches so much about forensic science and from an expert. You are an amazing teacher with an amazing interaction.
Because I come from an other country I didn't understand the names of the tests and the ingredients for the luminol. I was hoping if you could write them down by answering my comment so that I learn them.
Thank you very much beforehand.

[mrskimtaehyung]

god I wanna be a forensic scientist sooo

[AbbeyNrmal]

I'm going to school for it let me tell you I've been a paramedic for 16 years and I've never had as much fun as I am taking this course your Never to old to do this if you have the ability to either take the course online or take it out of school I highly recommend it I am having the best time and I'm almost done🖤❗️

The Kenneka Jenkins Case is one to study. It's perfect for this as well. Luminal will and a UV Black light will work as well.
