I dropped out of school in my sophomore year to go be with him, he was strung out on all kinds of drugs. I wanted to make sure he was ok.

Professor Carroll. This is a great video. The take issue with only two things here: 1. When you are doing the phph test, I would not have used the same swab to extract two different blood spots at 11:04, and 2. I would not have discarded the cutting from the fabric at 25:33, if only to establish later by way of mechanical fit that the fabric cutting came form that shirt, and not another shirt. Even though the first test is only a presumptive test for blood, it does show that two stain extracts were commingled, and before they were tested. Also, even though I agree that the fabric should contain no other semen after it has been centrifuged, it looked bad to see and hear a forensic scientist "discard" tested evidence. Of course, you are following your lab's procedures, but I can easily see a defense attorney making an issue of either of theses things, especially claiming that the cutting may have also contained exculpatory evidence. To a skeptical jury, that would sound reasonable, and all an attorney needs to get an acquittal is reasonable doubt. --David Cook, MFS, FCSI

Thank you so much for this video. I started out my degree in Criminalistics and changed it but am realizing that I really love Forensics, so I'm switching back, but I wanted to learn more while I do my classes. This was really informative and cool!
Please do!! I am also a senior in high school wanting to major in forensic science, and I would love to see if at least one of us gets to live out our dream :)
I’m a freshman going into my 2nd year now I was debating between this, CSI and coroner even though they’re all under the same umbrella and I’m sticking with CSI. Currently I’ve only done CJUS classes but soon I will get to do forensic classes which excites me I wish you guys luck.
Stumbled up on this video somehow and I'm really glad that I did because this video is quite informative to me as it's what I'm looking for in basics of experimenting these tests, thank you! ^^
I'm going to school for it let me tell you I've been a paramedic for 16 years and I've never had as much fun as I am taking this course your Never to old to do this if you have the ability to either take the course online or take it out of school I highly recommend it I am having the best time and I'm almost done🖤❗️

Hello! First of all this is an amazing video and it teaches so much about forensic science and from an expert. You are an amazing teacher with an amazing interaction. Because I come from an other country I didn't understand the names of the tests and the ingredients for the luminol. I was hoping if you could write them down by answering my comment so that I learn them. Thank you very much beforehand.
MrKaterinalove The tests are: Phenolphthalein blood test ABA Hematrace human blood test Luminol Acid Phosphatase presumptive semen test p30 semen test microscopic sperm search The luminol ingredients are: 7 parts water (H2O) 1 part Sodium Hydroxide 1 part Hydrogen peroxide 1 part luminol
hey im interested i this field as well i was wondering if you ended up taking the major or not and if you have, could you give me some info on how it is, i would appreciate it sm!
Super interesting. But I can't help imagining that morning in the office... 'For today's educational video we will need some blood and some sperm. Any volunteers?'
Weird question, but do I need to give analytic input for crimes in forensic science jobs or could I just be doing the lab work in just tracing evidence and such? I really want to use science in a job and this is a way I would like people be helped but a lot of people seem to know more about investigation and I dont think I can think like an investigator besides just knowing what I'm working with. I know I can be called as an expert witness and would be prepared to confirm the facts but they wont ask me like if the DNA/trace matching/not-matching actually proves an event or not, right? I'm ready to learn about criminology but I dont think I also want to be the one actually enforcing law than just to the lab work to allow others to correctly.
Hey! I enjoyed this video. When I found out about this class online I wanted to sign up for it. But I don't know how to. Is it an online course or not? If so which one is it there three different ones and two of them are full and one with two classes is still open but I don't know which one it is. Could you help me please?
I want to major in this when I finish hs 😣😣😣 btw, do any of you in the comments know what I can do rn to prepare?? like internships or classes that I could be taking?? I'm already taking advanced cal and bio but that's about it 👀
Im in Missouri i want to get my degree in CSi . Can some one help with any info im not from here. But i want to get my csi degree perhaps online if possible. Ive been wanting to do this for years
I am in last year of high school and i really want to be a scientist forensic , can anybody pleas give me some details about what should i do after i graduate ?

I'm so glad I got into CSI at this time it triggered me to go back and study forensics science. Its soooo helpful and I really love it.
awesome! where did you study forensic science? I am planning to study it too.
I’m a junior in high school so imma come back in a few years and update y’all to see if I get to major this in college
@@abreacts7563 Are you majoring in it?
Good luck :)
NO WAY SAME! I’m a junior as well 🤌🏻

I got you fam, good luck
One yr
Did you get to college, great subject. Denis from London
DID YOU?!
HEYY DID YOU GO TO A FORENSIC SCIENCE COLLEGE.
How's your life now?
I’m so glad this popped up on my recommendation
Hello!
First of all this is an amazing video and it teaches so much about forensic science and from an expert. You are an amazing teacher with an amazing interaction.
Because I come from an other country I didn't understand the names of the tests and the ingredients for the luminol. I was hoping if you could write them down by answering my comment so that I learn them.

MrKaterinalove
The tests are:
Phenolphthalein blood test
ABA Hematrace human blood test
Luminol
Acid Phosphatase presumptive semen test
p30 semen test
microscopic sperm search
The luminol ingredients are:
7 parts water (H2O)
1 part Sodium Hydroxide
1 part Hydrogen peroxide
1 part luminol
good vid... very informative. Good professional
Let me tell you boy this is such great info for anyone starting this field thanks
this was actually so interesting to watch.
The Kenneka Jenkins Case is one to study. It's perfect for this as well. Luminal will and a UV Black light will work as well.
Excellently presented and very educational! Best of luck!
Good morning! Iike the class! She is a good teachear. Bless!
Going to college for this soon wish me luck sooo looking forward for this looks fun 😃
hey im interested i this field as well i was wondering if you ended up taking the major or not and if you have, could you give me some info on how it is, i would appreciate it sm!
I am also wanting to take forensic science classes to become a blood analysis. Seems very difficult.
I am now a student in the Department of Forensic Sciences, Al-Kitab University, Kirkuk Governorate.
Excellent video. Thank you
Thank you for this quality content
When you’re looking through the microscope without your glasses, do you need to put your contacts on?
Try it out looking through binoculars
Super interesting. But I can't help imagining that morning in the office... 'For today's educational video we will need some blood and some sperm. Any volunteers?'
this video is so helpful. thank you!
I am going to school for forensic science and it great so if you really want to go then go
thank u 🙏❤️
And I am a small student in this ocean 😊

Lol this is a capstone class in my senior year y’all have to wait till college.
i want to become a forensic scientist one day
excellent video watching it via online lab.
if someone sees this comment in 2 years can someone ask me if i actually ended up majoring in this? i'm a junior in high school right now!!
did you end up majoring in it
How is it?
Update?
