This includes a title page and a properly formatted Reference section. Please include only one attachment for this assignment. Your attachment should address all three questions in one document. Questions: 1. You are the defense attorney for a client that has been charged with causing a death by reckless driving and failing to stop and report an accident (hit and run). The police have told you that there is forensic paint evidence which links your client's car to the victim but the report has not yet been released to you. How will the paint have been examined by the forensic scientist and what do you anticipate will be the strengths and weaknesses of the resulting evidence? In cross-examining the forensic scientist, what issues would you develop in order to minimize the impact of the paint evidence? 2. As the detective on call you arrive at the location of an apparent hit and run vehicular incident with no known witnesses to the crash. A pedestrian has been killed. Scattered over the roadway are small fragments of orange and white plastic and small cubes of glass, which are being collected by the police. How would you expect the continuity of this evidence be assured? Describe the laboratory tests which should be performed. What will be the likely evidential value of the results? 3. You are a detective at home when shots have been fired at the door of your house from a passing vehicle. The police have arrested the three occupants of the vehicle and seized a double-barreled shotgun and a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. What evidence should be collected for submission to the laboratory? How should it be collected? What tests should be performed and why? Remember your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, written in APA 6th edition format and include at least two references. It is highly recommended that you spend quality time on this assignment in order to ensure the highest possible score.
