Forensics Evidence Case Analysis Project

Part I - Prepare a one to two page case summary (text, images will be in addition to this) outlining the crimes committed and the physical evidence presented at the trial against the notorious figures that were assigned as your group names:

• Bruno Richard Hauptmann
• Elizabeth "Lizzie" Borden
• John Wayne "Pogo the Clown" Gacy
• Robert "Baretta" Blake
• Eric & Lyle Menendez
• Theodore Robert "Ted" Bundy
• Aileen "Monster" Wuornos
• Charles "Charlie" Manson

We modeled the format for the report in class today using an article relating the Phil Spector Murder Trial as our example.

Part I Due Date: Friday, October 26, 2007

Part II - Your group will prepare a presentation (including some form of display) of the case and present it to the class. Presentations will be scheduled for Wednesdays in Novmber. An example from the 2006-2007 class will be on display.

Part III - Your group will split into two and will present to the jury (your classmates) a case for the prosecution and a case for the defense based on the physical evidence. Groups will present their cases (two groups per class) every Wednesday in November-December.
