Please follow the guidelines to complete all the labs in the course.
Before working on the lab, open a Word document (or an ODT or PDF document). Take screen captures while performing the steps and embed them in the document. Remember to number the steps. That will help me check if the screen captures matched the steps and how you completed the project. Note: Submitting screen captures as png or jpg files or a ZIP file will receive a grade of 0.
Once the last step is completed, I want you to look back at all the steps and the purpose of the lab. Write a brief lab report reflecting on what you achieved in the lab, why you achieved them, and what you learned. Please don’t include how you completed the lab in the lab reports since the screen captures will show that.
Introduction
Established in 1993 as a result of the Supreme Court case Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (509 U.S. 579), the Daubert standard is the test currently used in federal and most state courts. Because the Daubert standard requires that scientific evidence presented in court be generally accepted in the field, it is unlikely that new tools would be immediately approved for use in court. For this reason, it is important that a forensic investigator be familiar with emerging technologies and developments in the field of forensic techniques.
