You should have selected a case from Nexis UniĀ in the Assignment Preparation activity last week.Ā If you have not completed that activity, go back and complete it before continuing with this assignment.

In 3ā€“4 pages, summarize the investigation into your selected case. Your analysis should:

  • Summarize the key factors that may have been used to classify the type of death and the finding.
    • Analyze the ways thatĀ various environmental factors may have influenced the medical examination and autopsy in this investigation.
  • Identify the forensic methods that were reported in the investigation and their findings.
    • This may include methods like DNA, toxicology, hair andĀ fiber evidence, fingerprints, or any other methods which contributed to the investigation.
  • Recommend one way that the investigators or forensic team could have strengthened their case based on your understanding of it.
  • Cite three references.
    • One of your references will be the case recordĀ that you found from Nexis Uni.
