Excerpt from “The Science of Catching Criminals”
In courts of law, the tiniest piece of evidence can bring a criminal to justice. Something as small as a fiber can connect a thief to a burglary. The science used to show a person’s guilt or innocence is called forensics. A forensic team is made up of different people. Some work at the crime scene itself. Others work in labs to study the evidence. All of them have the same goal: to use evidence to catch and convict a criminal.
What is the main goal of the forensic team?
to preserve a crime scene so that nobody changes it
to use evidence to catch and convict a criminal
to follow criminals and see what they are up to
to work in a crime lab to test fabrics

In another famous case, four men were convicted of a murder in Illinois. This crime happened before DNA testing could be done. The ruling was based on the report of a witness who said she had seen the crime. The men were sentenced to a very long time in prison. Two were put on Death Row. Later, the witness confessed that her report had been a lie. By this time, DNA testing had been developed. It was used to show that the Ford Heights Four were innocent and that another man was guilty. Thanks to forensic science, justice was served.
