Warmup: Read the excerpt on pg. 148 (at the beginning of Ch. 5) about Pablo Escobar. 1.What type of drug did Pablo Escobar sell/distribute to make his fortune? 2.Why did Escobar evade capture so long? 3.How was Escobar eventually killed, and by whom?

SFS 2: Use various scientific techniques to analyze physical and trace evidence a. Classify toxins and their effects on the body 2/20/14

Part IV: Glass & Density remember, a solid particle will either float, sink, or remain suspended in a liquid, depending on its density relative to the liquid this knowledge gives the criminalist a rather precise and rapid method for comparing densities of glass flotation = method for determining the density of a glass sample involving liquids of different densities a standard/reference glass particle is immersed in a bromoform/bromobenzene mixture the composition of the liquid is carefully adjusted by the addition of drops of bromoform or bromobenzene until the glass chip remains suspended in the liquid medium

at this point, the standard/reference glass and liquid each have the same density glass chips of approximately the same size and shape as the standard/reference are now added to the liquid for comparison if both the unknown and the standard/reference particles remain suspended in the liquid, their densities are equal to each other and to that of the liquid particles of different densities either sink or float, depending on whether they are more or less dense than the liquid

Part V: Refractive Index Comparisons after a density determination, the added comparison of refractive indices is performed by use of the immersion method immersion method = method for determining the refractive index of a sample of glass through comparison with liquids of different refractive indices glass particles are immersed in a liquid medium whose refractive index is adjusted until it equals that of the glass particles at this point, known as the match point, the observer notes the disappearance of the Becke line and minimum contrast between the glass and liquid medium

Becke line = a bright halo that is observed near the border of a particle that is immersed in a liquid of a different refractive index this halo disappears when the medium and fragment have similar refractive indices

at this point, known as the match point, the observer notes the disappearance of the Becke line and minimum contrast between the glass and liquid medium Becke line = a bright halo that is observed near the border of a particle that is immersed in a liquid of a different refractive index this halo disappears when the medium and fragment have similar refractive indices the refractive index of an immersion fluid is adjusted by carefully adjusting the temp. of the liquid in 0.2°C per minute increments

Part VI: Classification of Glass Samples a significant difference in either density or refractive index proves that the glasses examined do not have a common origin—but what if two pieces of glass exhibit similar densities and refractive indices? to provide a reasonable answer to this question, the FBI Laboratory has collected density and refractive index values from glass submitted to it for examination, creating a data bank correlating these values to their frequency of occurrence in the glass population of the US

once a criminalist has completed a comparison of glass fragments, he or she can correlate their density and refractive index values to their frequency of occurrence and find the probability that the fragments came from the same source—for example: a glass fragment with a refractive index value of is found in approximately only 1 out of 2,000 specimens glass with a value of occurs approximately in 22 glasses out of 2,000

the frequency of a refractive index value’s occurrence

a glass fragment with a refractive index value of is found in approximately only 1 out of 2,000 specimens glass with a value of occurs approximately in 22 glasses out of 2,000 Part VII: Glass Fractures glass bends in response to any force exerted on any one of its surfaces—when the elasticity limit is reached, the glass fractures fractured window glass often reveals information that can be related to the force and direction of an impact (this may be useful for reconstructing events at a crime-scene investigation) the penetration of ordinary window glass by a projectile, whether a bullet or a stone, produces a familiar fracture pattern in which cracks both radiate outward and encircle the hole. the radiating lines are known as radial fractures the circular lines are termed concentric fractures

the penetration of ordinary window glass by a projectile, whether a bullet or a stone, produces a familiar fracture pattern in which cracks both radiate outward and encircle the hole. the radiating lines are known as radial fractures the circular lines are termed concentric fractures gunpowder deposits on the shattered glass fragments help determine whether the damage was caused by a firearm, or just a stone/other projectile when a high-velocity projectile (such as a bullet) penetrates glass it leaves a round, crater-shaped hole surrounded by a nearly symmetrical pattern of radial and concentric cracks the hole is inevitably wider on the exit side, and hence examining it is an important step in determining the direction of impact

however, as the velocity of the penetrating projectile decreases, the irregularity of the shape of the hole and of its surrounding cracks increases, so that at some point the hole shape will not help determine the direction of impact if needed, examining the radial and concentric fracture lines may help determine the direction of impact

however, as the velocity of the penetrating projectile decreases, the irregularity of the shape of the hole and of its surrounding cracks increases, so that at some point the hole shape will not help determine the direction of impact if needed, examining the radial and concentric fracture lines may help determine the direction of impact When a force pushes on one side of a pane of glass, the elasticity of the glass permits it to bend in the direction of the force applied the first fractures form on the surface opposite that of the penetrating force and develop into radial lines the continued motion of the force places tension on the front surface of the glass, resulting in the formation of concentric cracks

When a force pushes on one side of a pane of glass, the elasticity of the glass permits it to bend in the direction of the force applied the first fractures form on the surface opposite that of the penetrating force and develop into radial lines the continued motion of the force places tension on the front surface of the glass, resulting in the formation of concentric cracks the edges of the radial and concentric cracks show stress markings called Wallner lines the shape of these lines shows which side the window cracked on

the edges of the radial and concentric cracks show stress markings called Wallner lines the shape of these lines shows which side the window cracked on stress marks are shaped like arches that are perpendicular to one glass surface and curved nearly parallel to the opposite surface the perpendicular edge always faces the surface on which the crack originated thus, for radial cracks, the perpendicular end is always found opposite the side from which the force of impact was applied for concentric fractures, the perpendicular end always faces the surface on which the force originated

thus, for radial cracks, the perpendicular end is always found opposite the side from which the force of impact was applied for concentric fractures, the perpendicular end always faces the surface on which the force originated a good way to remember this info is the 3R rule: these facts enable the examiner to determine the side on which a window was broken unfortunately, the absence of radial or concentric fracture lines prevents these observations from being applied to broken tempered glass Radial cracks form a Right angle on the Reverse side of the force

unfortunately, the absence of radial or concentric fracture lines prevents these observations from being applied to broken tempered glass when there is more than one bullet hole in the glass, you can determine the sequence of impact by observing the existing fracture lines and their points of termination a fracture always terminates at an existing line of fracture bullet hole A preceded bullet hole B (we know this because bullet hole B’s radial fractures terminate at the fracture lines from bullet hole A).

a fracture always terminates at an existing line of fracture bullet hole A preceded bullet hole B (we know this because bullet hole B’s radial fractures terminate at the fracture lines from bullet hole A). Part VIII: Collecting/ Preserving Glass Evidence if even the most remote possibility exists that fragments can be pieced together, every effort must be made to collect all the glass found—at a car accident, for example: evidence collection must include all the broken parts of headlights and reflector lenses

Part VIII: Collecting/Preserving Glass Evidence if even the most remote possibility exists that fragments can be pieced together, every effort must be made to collect all the glass found—at a car accident, for example: evidence collection must include all the broken parts of headlights and reflector lenses headlight filaments may reveal whether the headlights were on or off at impact the presence of dirt, paint, or grease may indicate the exterior surface of the glass a standard/reference glass sample should always be taken from any remaining glass, as close as possible to the point of breakage (about one square inch of sample is enough)

glass fragments should be packaged in solid containers to avoid further breakage suspect’s shoes and/or clothing should be individually wrapped in paper (CSIs should avoid removing such evidence from garments unless absolutely necessary)
