Investigate the Truth
Investigate the truth- Hunt for Clues Evidence- Garlic Piece Location- On living room floor. Suspect- Grandma and grandpa. They were watching TV there as it was a hot day.
Well our grandpa doesn’t cook. So it can’t be him. It must be my grandma as she was cooking that for us that day.
Evidence- lolly wrapper. Location- On living room desk. Suspect- Mum, grandma and grandpa.
It could be at least grandpa, grandma or mum. BUT, some grandpa’s and grandma’s can’t eat candy due to their false teeth. So, it must be my mum who forgot to put the rubbish in the bin.
Evidence- Short Black hair with white tip. Location- On the corner of the living room desk. Suspect- Dad, me or grandpa.
Look at the picture of the hair closely,(Sorry for the light) it can’t be my grandpa because he has white hair. So it is either me or my dad. On that day, I didn’t get my hair cut so it must be my dad.
CASE CLOSED It is said that the garlic piece was dropped by my grandma, the wrapper was by mum and the hair was from dad.
Investigate the truth- Take fingerprints As you can see in these fingerprints that they are completely different. My mum’s fingerprint is an arch. My dad’s fingerprint is a whorl. My fingerprint is a simple loop. Left to right- mum, dad, mine.
What is DNA? How does it work together with these fingerprints to successfully prosecute criminals?
Many prisoners have been released from jail after a DNA test proved they were innocent of a crime. Should they be compensated and how?
