"Agonizing Question for Irish: What to Do With Children's Remains?"

Barry, Dan. “Agonizing Question for Irish: What to Do With Children's Remains?” The New York Times, The New York Times, 13 Jan. 2018, www.nytimes.com/2018/01/13/world/europe/tuam-ireland-lost-children.html.

Dan Barry’s article, “Agonizing Question for Irish: What to Do With Children's Remains?” discusses a case in Ireland where the Catholic nuns ran a home for unwed mothers buried many bodies of young children. In a report conducted by a team of forensic experts, it stated that “The group has not identified any directly comparable cases, either nationally or internationally, that involved the complexities of commingled juvenile human remains, in significant quantities and in such a restricted physical location,” revealing the abuse of human rights and the extreme control over women in the home. After this discovery, authorities made the decision to “conduct a forensic exam of most of the site, including its car park and grassy playground; exhume all relevant human remains; and do exhaustive DNA testing for possible identification.” As of March 2017, forensic investigators from Commision of Investigation Into Mother and Baby Homes confirmed the fact that the remains of hundreds of children were disposed of in a no longer active drainage system.

Barry’s article brought attention to a case in which human rights and proper respect towards and the dead were ignored, as hundreds of young children were disposed of in drainage systems. It is important that those who die are given a proper burial and are treated with respect. In discovering a case such as this one, it allows loved ones to know what may have happened to their sibling for example. Though, it also allows DNA technology to improve, as, with cases such as these where DNA can be difficult to obtain, an improved system will allow for it to be obtained easier with better results.

I thought that Dan Barry’s article, “Agonizing Question for Irish: What to Do With Children's Remains?” was overall very thorough in explaining the case. It was equally interesting and informative to read. Although, he did not explain the forensic side in detail as much as what happened to the children and why this happened.

After reading the article In Africa, Geneticists Are Hunting Poachers written by Gina Kolata showed me the infamous sadening reality of poaching, and how the problem is being fixed. A former school teacher in Zimbabwe Rogers Mukwena was wanted for poaching rhinos and selling their horns for a heavy price, he had jumped bail and headed north, making it hard to prosecute him. However with the help of scientist this criminal can face his crimes, by using the same genetic fingerprinting method used in the criminal justice system is being used to solve poaching crimes. The scientists gathered samples of DNA from African Rhinos, locating the remains and matching the trafficker or poacher to it. Poaching is series problem, in the past ten years 7,000 rhinos have been killed for their horns, along with 30,000 elephants each year for their tusks.

This article opened my eyes to the escalating problem of poaching animals, and how many people are taking steps forward to prevent this from advancing. By attempting to gather DNA evidence from Rhinos and locating the perpetrator would be able to spread the idea that this is not such a easy crime to commit anymore. By spreading this awareness hopefully it will decrease the high amounts of animal deaths.

The article did a great job in bringing unbelievable facts to the table, drawing in the reader and making them feel concerned for the issue. I also liked how they used a specific story with the rhinos and a escaped convict, it made the article a lot more endearing to read. However i wish that the author had gone into more detail with how exactly the rhino DNA was tied in with the poacher,l and the specifics on how they can find out who murdered the animal. Adding this would have made the article easier to understand and learn.

Woman Questions Mother's Investigation in 1980s Baby Deaths

Antlfinger, Carrie, and Todd Richmond. “Woman Questions Mother's Investigation in 1980s

Baby Deaths.” Forensic Magazine, 28 Feb. 2018, www.forensicmag.com/news/2018/02/woman-questions-mothers-investigation-1980s-baby-deaths.

In the article “Woman Questions Mother’s Investigation in 1980s Baby Deaths” Carrie Antlfinger and Todd Richmond discuss how Ami Brunka is shocked that investigators didn’t arrest her mom in the 1980s after she confessed to killing her 18-day-old son, even after the deaths of two more infants in her care. Brunka said that the three murder charges Milwaukee prosecutors filed against her mother, Nancy Moronez, should have come much earlier. Last week, Moronez confessed to killing her son Justin in March 1980, killing 6 month old Brad Steege in March 1984, and killing 3 month old Katie Kozeniecki in February 1985. Officials with the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office mistakenly ruled that the deaths resulted from sudden infant death syndrome.

I think one of the reasons this article is important is that it surrounds the issue of determining whether an infant was killed by SIDS or not. According to a 2006 joint report from the National Association of Medical Examiners and the American Academy of Pediatrics child abuse committee, SIDS is the most common cause of death for children between a month and 6 months old. Telling the difference between SIDS and suffocation is apparently “difficult if not impossible” according to the report. This is extremely worrying because it means that a large number of deaths attributed to SIDS might actually be murder cases and the only real way to know when to start an investigation is if more than one infant dies under the same person’s care.

Antlfinger and Richmond wrote a succinct and informative article concerning this case and its investigation. They were able to provide all of the relevant information concerning the case while also addressing why investigators hadn’t grown suspicious of Moronez after three dead babies and by describing the uncertainty that surrounds sudden infant death syndrome. I think that one area that could be clarified in the article was the true confession because the authors include two or three different scenarios for how some of the infants could have died but it is hard to tell what Moronez actually confessed to.

“Child Porn Search Warrant Yields Body Stuffed in Tote.” discusses an ongoing computer crime investigation that investigators  linked to a nationwide child porn sting. Augenstein relayed how the Colorado police served a search warrant on an apartment in Trinidad, Colo., on Tuesday and found  corpse stuffed inside a plastic storage tote. The suspect, Cameron Johnson-McCann, is being charged with a single count of internet sexual exploitation of a child. The actual death investigation however, is being continued. According to the article, “ The remains have only been described as those of a man—but their condition has prevented identification so far. An autopsy is pending.” They also claimed that the person had been dead for a while.

This article was very interesting to read. It was interesting to see how a computer crime investigation could lead to a break in a child pornography case. It is very relevant to our forensic class as we are studying ways in which we could use forensic evidence to solve cases such as this one. Child pornography is one of the biggest problems of our era and this case highlights it.

While the article was very interesting to read, there were some points that the author didn’t include that made it a little hard to follow. I wish the author could’ve expanded on the relationship between the computer case and the child pornography case. While it is clear the dead body is the common link, it was hard to identify what led them to the body or to connect the body to the cases in question.

Fink, Sheri. “Las Vegas Gunman's Brain Exam Only Deepens Mystery of His Actions.” The New York Times, The New York Times, 9 Feb. 2018, www.nytimes.com/2018/02/09/us/las-vegas-attack-paddock-brain-autopsy.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FForensic%2BScience&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection.

Following the brutal Las Vegas massacre last October that killed 58 people by Stephen Paddock, a recent autopsy and examination took place to see what was going on inside of his brain. In Sheri Fink’s article titled  “Las Vegas Gunman's Brain Exam Only Deepens Mystery of His Actions” she describes what scientists did to discover and look for inside of his brain. In his brain, it was discovered that Paddock did have fatty plaques inside blood vessels  that can hurt circulation but that is common among adults at that age. “Also, scattered on the surfaces of his brain were an abnormally high number of tiny deposits that tend to increase with age and accompany some neurological diseases.”  Dr. Hannes Vogel, the director of neuropathology at Stanford University examined the brain which was tough due to the fact that there was still the self inflicted gun wound to the brain. “With a good deal of screening, I didn’t see anything,” he said, that could explain why Mr. Paddock became a calculating mass killer. The reason why a brain would be examined was to see if the brain showed any evidence of disorders that could have made him mentally ill, but nothing was found. “A primary care physician in Las Vegas — who said he had been Mr. Paddock’s doctor since 2009 and had last seen him as a patient roughly a year before the shooting — told officials that he suspected Mr. Paddock had bipolar disorder.” After careful examination of his brain, nothing could have been noticed that had led Stephen Paddock to commit this horrible crime.

I feel that this article and very informative and very relevant in today's society. For example, as crime rates have been drastically rising, it is important that we are able to get true justice and we deserve to know what happened in certain cases. Along with this, technology is rapidly expanding and improving so it is very interesting to see how cases can be solved by examining the brain.

After reading this article called  “Las Vegas Gunman's Brain Exam Only Deepens Mystery of His Actions” , I feel that this article is very well written. I think the article is well written because it is very easy to understand and shows purpose in today’s society and our advancing technology. Although this article would be improved. For example, the article could have explained and gone more into detail on what happened during the examination and what the future holds for this case. To improve this article I would suggest writing about another story on which the same technique of brain examination was used.

Ohio Man Charged With Providing Guns that Killed Officers

Ohio Man Charged With Providing Guns that Killed Officers

Two officers were shot and killed this Saturday when responding to a domestic violence 9-1-1 call near Columbus, Ohio. When arriving on the scene, officers Eric Joering and Anthony Morelli were met with gunfire from Quentin Lamar Smith who was wounded by the officers who returned fire. This is the latest in a string of police ambush shooting. When investigators came to the scene they found the gun. “Community tips, social media posts and a gun trace led authorities to Lawson”, said Ronald Herndon, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives. Gun tracing is a technique done by the Bureau of AFTE along with forensic investigators. It is done by tracking of the movement of recovered firearms from where the gun was sold to the manufacturer, the retailer and finally the person who purchased it. Quentin Smith gave his friend, Gerald Lawson, one hundred dollars to buy the gun. Smith himself could not buy a firearm because he was convicted felon. Lawson appeared in court for a federal hearing on the 12th. A bond hearing was set for Wednesday.

Gun trafficking is a serious issue in America. Domestic abusers and felons are not allowed to buy weapons, but due to weak gun laws in America, they can easily work around it. In gun-related homicides, only 1% of gun dealers were accounted for when almost 60% of crime guns were recovered by police and attempted to be traced. This is a disappointment, not only to officers Eric Joering and Anthony Morelli but all of the law enforcement officers in America whose job it is to protect us.

Overall, Andrew Welsh-Huggins did a good job on writing on this case. However, it was a very short article. Only very basic facts were presented and I had to do further research on the background information. I also had to look up how the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives trace guns. I would suggest including more information regarding the background of the crime, and how the Bureau of AFTE was able to trace the gun.

Welsh-Huggins, Andrew. “Ohio Man Charged with Providing Gun That Killed Officers.” Forensic Magazine, Associated Press, 13 Feb. 2018, www.forensicmag.com/news/2018/02/ohio-man-charged-providing-gun-killed-officers.

For this review I read the article by Timothy Rovell titled “Dutch Police use Augmented Reality to Investigate Crime Scenes.” This article talks about how the Dutch are attempting to help out their first responders to a crime scene. The article gives the example of a officer entering a ecstasy lab, but not knowing what to look for, so an expert looks though the officers body cam and points out what to look for into a smart phone or a HUD(heads up display) on something like a google glass. The article also mentioned how the video analysis by the expert could be used in court.

This technology can have a great impact of how crime scenes are first looked at. If this technology is brought to the US it could lead to better analysis of crime scenes and more faith in first responders to not miss things when in a crime scene. It allows the field officer to have the knowledge of an expert to make sure everything is documented.  

This article was very well written. It had quotes from experts as well great examples to let the reader know exactly what this technology is capable of helping.

Case of Jogger’s Murder Hinges, in Part, on Questions Over a Police Stop

By BENJAMIN MUELLER

Mueller, Benjamin. Case of Jogger's Murder Hinges, in Part, on Questions Over a Police Stop.

NewYork Times, 22 Jan. 2018, www.nytimes.com/2018/01/22/nyregion/case-of-karina-vetrano-murder-hinges-in-part-on-questions-over-a-police-stop.html?rref=collection%2Ftimestopic%2FForensic%20Science&action=click&contentCollection=timestopics®ion=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=collection.

“Case of Jogger’s Murder Hinges, in  Part, on Questions Over a Police Stop” by Benjamin Mueller explores the controversy of whether illegally obtained evidence can be shown in court. Mr. Lewis,a 20 year old black male, was walking on a public street on Howard Beach in Queens. Lieutenant Russo was suspicious of him and took him in for questioning but released him soon after. The jogger Karina Vetrano was raped and strangled on Howard Beach later that night. The police decided to add Mr. Lewis to the list of suspects and take him back in for questioning. His defense lawyers argued that walking in public is not a crime and did not warrant his arrest in the first place, “The stop was redolent of the abuses of stop-and-frisk, an act of profiling that put Mr. Lewis under scrutiny because he was a black man walking in a mostly white neighborhood.” Even though this defense was convincing, Mr. Lewis remained a suspect because of  “a 2010 ruling by the New York Court of Appeals seems to have established that a name cannot be excluded from trial in New York, even if it is the result of an illegal stop.”  

This controversy is important because it raises the issue of racial profiling in the police force. The arrest of Mr. Lewis is an instance of racial profiling that backfired on the prosecutor. Because of the initial illegal arrest of Mr. Lewis, it was debated if investigating him for the murder of Vetrano was legal. The laws protecting citizens from racial profiling are inherently important, and if Lieutenant Russo had followed these laws the investigation of Lewis would have gone much more smoothly.

This article was sympathetic to both Lewis and the police force. The structure of the article, placing information about racial profiling in the beginning and end, connected this event to a larger issue. However within the body of the article, it was difficult to follow the investigation of Mr. Lewis chronologically.

This article DNA Helps New York Police Solve Infamous 1994 Rape Case is about how recently developed technology was able to help the New York police solve a 24 year old rape case. In New York city 1994 a women was raped at 5:30pm in prospect park. Then A High profile News columnist started questioning the woman’s account calling it a hoax. However this January when the technology became available the police were able to test the seman that they found at the scene. It came back and matched James Edward Webb a 67 year old serial rapist serving a life prison sentence in Sing Sing. This recent discovery was made possible by a new piece of forensic technology which was able to detect the DNA and figure out who commited the crime.

This article talked about a rapist and how the women who made the claims wasn’t immediately believed and she was almost shrugged of by the public. This is something that is now becoming more and more of a problem now. With women speaking out about their experiences with sexual abuse in their lives it is changing a lot of people's mind on how these women should be treated. They are now getting the respect and belief in their stories that they should have had many years ago. And now this new technology will continue to help women prove that the person who did this to them is guilty.

I thought that the author did a great job writing this article. There were not very many mistakes in anything. The only critique that I would have against the article is that I felt there could have been some more background information on the case. The author just dived into the details almost like he was assuming that everyone knew what the case was.

Automated fingerprint analysis is one step closer to reality: Scientists have developed an algorithm that automates a key step in forensic fingerprint analysis, which may make the process more reliable and efficient.

Since the first case where fingerprint evidence was used in court, in 1911, fingerprint analysis technology has been constantly developing and improving. While at the time of this first case, fingerprints evidence was thought to be indisputable, we now know that fingerprint examination can provide erroneous results. The article mentions evidence of errors made in fingerprint examination in a 2009 report that found the results “are not necessarily repeatable from examiner to examiner.” Because different experts have different opinions, innocent people have been wrongly accused. The purpose of this article is to spread the news that studies are being conducted to reduce the chance of human errors occuring. They provide evidence from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Michigan State University, who have evaluated an algorithm that can conduct the key steps in fingerprint analysis. The idea is that if fingerprint references were high- quality, it would be much more efficient to match them, especially on a computer that can analyze rolled prints. The tricky part is when the fingerprints are brought in from a crime scene, they are never perfect rolled prints, so it’s hard for examiners to determine what parts of the print evidence is useful.

By automating the step where examiners choose what is valuable prints and what is not, it will allow evidence to be processed more efficiently, reducing backlogs, etc. Crimes will soon be solved much more efficiently when the evidence can be processed conclusively, following the completion of the algorithm. This algorithm has the potential to permanently change the current ways of fingerprint analysis that has been used for decades, the same process that has lead to numerous false convictions. The possibility of someone being falsely accused by fingerprints would no longer be an arguable factor in a court of law.

This article was extremely interesting and valuable to society and relevant to our Forensic Class studies. This algorithm has the potential to change scientific method of fingerprint analysis! And the way the article was formatted and written was very easy to read and understand, it was divided into 3 parts; first the introduction paragraphs, then “A Key Decision Point,” then “Training the Algorithm.” This last section was the only slightly difficult information to understand because it got into the technical things of it, but was still clear and important to the article.

Forensic Search Dogs Sniff Out Human Ashes In Wildfire Wreckage

Dembosky, April. “Forensic Search Dogs Sniff Out Human Ashes In Wildfire Wreckage.” NPR, NPR, 3 Feb. 2018, www.npr.org/2018/02/03/582462990/forensic-search-dogs-sniff-out-human-ashes-in-wildfire-wreckage.

I read “Forensic Search Dogs Sniff Out Human Ashes In Wildfire Wreckage” by April Dembosky. The article describes the home of Kathy Lampi. Her mother passed away last June and Lampi kept her ashes on her shelf. Unfortunately, the Northern California wildfires last October devastated her home reducing her entire house to a pile of ash and rubble.To find her mother’s ashes among the wreckage Lampi was put in touch with the Institute for Canine Forensics. The dogs trained by the Institute are used for a wide range of jobs including looking for lost Native American burial sites or even the remains of Amelia Earhart, however, this “is the first time these kinds of dogs have been used to recover human ashes from wildfire disaster sites. Kris Black, trainer for one of the dogs stated, "We start imprinting them at a very young age and introducing that target odor…I feed her when she finds what her target source is”. An English Labrador was brought in to the wreckage of the home and the dog sniff around before laying down next to her findings. The archeologists then set off to work looking for a homogenous pocket of ash and eventually identifying ash that would belong to Lampi’s mother.

This article sheds light on an interesting field of forensics that utilizes canines to aid in investigation. The field described in the article is very important as the search for human remains in a disaster such as a fire may be extremely difficult for forensic archaeologists as they may have no idea where to look. Trained dogs prove extremely useful to the archeologists and make identifying humans within a wreckage possible, allowing for closure for the family.

I think the article did a very good job. It described a certain case and went into detail how the trained dogs and forensic archaeologists worked together to find Lampi’s mother’s ashes. The title is a bit misleading as it is not solely the work of the dogs but rather the collaboration between them and the forensic archaeologists so I would recommend that the author edit the title accordingly. Other than that, the article was very well made.

“Philly Domestic Violence Analysis Shows More Violence in Unmarried Couples”

“Philly Domestic Violence Analysis Shows More Violence in Unmarried Couples.” Forensic Magazine, 1 Feb. 2018, www.forensicmag.com/news/2018/02/philly-domestic-violence-analysis-shows-more-violence-unmarried-couples.https://www.forensicmag.com/news/2018/02/philly-domestic-violence-analysis-shows-more-violence-unmarried-couples

In the article “Philly Domestic Violence Analysis Shows More Violence in Unmarried Couples” by Seth Augenstein, it explained new found data when using forensic technology to compare incidences of domestic violence between certain types of couples, in Philadelphia. The article said 82 percent of intimate partner violence incidents were between dating partners, with the remainder involving those who were married or previously married, the scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have found. Though there are limitations to the conclusions, the data appears to indicate that more domestic violence happens between people who are dating, compared to married couples. “Current boyfriends or girlfriends were more likely that current spouses to injure their victims and to be arrested,” the scientists concluded. Susan B. Sorensen has recorded 31,206 incidents that were reported to the Philadelphia Police Department. Of the 31, 206 incidents, 82 percent were dating partners, it was split between currently dating (44 percent) and formerly dating (38 percent) partners, according to the data. The remaining incidents involved spouses. Current spouses made up a total of 15 percent of the calls, and 3.5 percent involved ex-spouses.

But there are some interesting factors that may be the reason for the data that was found. For instance, Philadelphia has the highest percentage of never-married adults (51.5 percent) among the 10 biggest U.S. cities. Underlying that statistic is a changing nature of relationships over the period of 1970 to 2009: over that time frame the average age of first marriage for men rose from 22 to 28, and from 20 to 25 for females. (Divorce rates also doubled over that period.) Even though this data informs us that dating couples are more likely to have a domestic violence incident, it is focused on one city were more than half of the population count are never married adults.

Although this data doesn’t give any solutions toward the end of domestic violence it gives us a sample of the data that's being tracked by forensic scientists, related to the ongoing problem of domestic violence. Also how organizations are trying to end domestic violence can target specific communities, towns, and cities.

I think the article did a good job providing specific data regarding the study by the forensic scientists. But they didn’t provide much else. All the article really contained was a couple lines with a bunch of numbers and why they are so significant. This article was very different then articles I have read in the past because there was no story, but the main purpose of this article was to inform people across the country with forensic data.

In Al Bakers article  “DNA Helps New York Police Solve Infamous 1994 Rape Case” discuss how new DNA matching technology was able to help officials finally identify a suspect in an unsolved rape case from 24 years ago.A woman was raped in the early evening in Prospect park while returning home from grocery shopping. There was little evidence aside from some semen on her shorts ,and police had no leads on ny suspecs. One reporter went as far as to speculate in an article as to whether the entire story was a hoax. The case went cold shortly after. This month, a newly developed system of DNA testing which was not elaborated on in the article was used. The Rapist was identified as 67 year old James Edward Webb, who is already serving life in prison for serial rape charges, He cannot be charged with the rape that occurred in 1994, due to the statute of limitations.

This breakthrough is relevant for several reasons, the first being that a victim was given closure ad is now able to be at peace knowing that her rapist is behind bars and will be for the rest of his life. The victim was called a liar, so it’s important for the public to know that that accusation was false and inappropriate.  This is also relevant because it shows the value of new forensic advances and the benefits it can have to society, like closure for the victim. It makes it clear that rapists and other criminals will no longer be able to get away with their heinous crimes because forensic technology is catching up to them and improving every day.

This article was well written and gave a great overview on the case and how it was resolved. There were alot of quotes from police, lawyers, and people closely connected to the crime. I think this article would have been better if there was a little more detail on the exact forensic process was used and how it was developed.
