Case Study

1. Usually fiber evidence is used to support other evidence and testimonies in a trial, but in this case other evidence was used to support fiber evidence. 2. They were trying to determine if all the fibers were connected and the objet the fibers came from. All the fibers from the murder victim originated from the same source, which traced all the evidence back to one source, William. 3. It could determine the place of the murder or the murderer. The manufacturer can give a list of the people who owned this specific type of fiber. If the manufacturer was located then the use of record could be used to determine who bought specific fibers. 4. It was found that the carpet was manufactured in the same way as William’s carpet. The carpet was called Luxaire. This type of fiber was only manufactured for a one year period which made it unique and not very common. 5. The carpet was really rare so it was highly unprobable to be placed in more than one home. This made it very likely that William was the main subject.
