The increase in technology makes information more vast and more ideas can be shared easily. Many sciences are based off many “what ifs” while forensic science is more factual and attempt to solve puzzling occurrences and events and get down to what truly

    They also explained how investigators and the detectives investigated the Peters car in quadrants where they take a wet swab and then dry swab to find any prints on or int the car. In addition they fumigated the car and wear orange goggles that help them find more prints and evidence that the human eye can't see. All of these scientific investigative evidence procedures can seem to be detrimental to Herring.

For example, if the word is blue, but is written in a green ink, green would be said allowed. If this is the case, then will the subject read the word with the same color ink faster than the words with different colored ink?
