Advanced Criminalistics: Review of Criminalist Report

Advanced Criminalistics: Review of Criminalist Report Project description You are a criminalist who has been asked to review the report of the forensic expert from the opposing attorney. You may not perform a re-analysis because the opposing expert used up the entire sample. The relevant circumstances of the case are as follows: A white powder was found by the crime scene team on the top of a bureau in a paper towel near a deceased male victim in the bedroom of his condominium. The evidence was properly collected, packaged, stored, and submitted to the laboratory. The report contains the following information: The powder weighed approximately 15 milligrams. The conclusion of the report was that the analyzed sample contained: -- Table salt (sodium chloride) -- Potato starch -- Sand grains -- Sodium benzoate The report states that the forensic expert used only a gas chromatograph with a mass spectrometer detector to arrive at these results. With this in mind, answer the following two questions: 1) Discuss why the analyst could not have arrived at the conclusion they did using the instrument they claim that they used; and 2) Explain what you would have used to arrive at those results assuming the results to be correct.
