Description
True crime... Murder, a mistress, and the question of scientific evidence in the courtroom - this case has it ALL!
This assignment includes an overview of the Dr. Coppolino case, which involves murders caused by an injection of a paralytic drug. The case is significant in the history of forensic science due to questions surrounding admissibility of scientific evidence into court. I always teach this case as a part of the introduction to forensic science unit.
This assignment includes the reading of the case overview, along with reflection questions and important vocabulary. This takes about one 45-minute class period.
