A storefront window is broken and a robbery committed. A suspect is later apprehended running from the scene. Examination of his shoes reveals glass particles embedded in a heel
Describe the proper collection and preservation of this glass evidence for laboratory examination.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer should include points such as the following:
The entire shoe is to be submitted for laboratory examination. Avoid removing glass evidence from the shoe unless there is a distinct possibility that the glass will be lost in transit.
Package the shoe in a box or paper bag and send to the laboratory.
A control sample of glass from the broken window is to be submitted for laboratory examination. Normally, a piece of glass 1-inch square will suffice. A pillbox, druggist fold, or vial is a convenient container for small glass fragments.
All packages are to be properly labeled for identification. Minimal information should include the evidence collector's name or initials, the date, and the sampling location. All items collected are to be described in the evidence collector's field notes.
