So, since no one else answered this question & everything I’ve learned about Forensic Science comes from this blog. . .
Wikipedia told me a story, I’ll share it with you. . .
Ancient criminal prosecution always came down to coerced confessions and witness testimony. Forensic science began developing in the 200th century BC. A book, titled “Washing Away of Wrongs” (translated), written by Xi Yuan Lu documents the first use of forensic science (medicine and entomology) to solve criminal cases. In one case, everyone in a town was instructed to bring their “sickle” forward for comparison to identify a murder weapon after doing scientific tests to identify a “sickle” as the weapon. Interestingly, the flies all flocked to a specific individual’s “sickle,” because of the smell of blood causing the murderer to confess.
Is this cheating? 🙂
