www.justice.gov Using DNA to Solve Crime because
I choose this article because Logan and Arthur solve a murder and this article is about crime solving using DNA
DNA is a pretty interesting procedural tool. Police have been solving crime using DNA for two decades . The United States Department Of Justice says that "Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses." Discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick discovered how DNA worked (Solving Crime using DNA.) DNA can be compared from evidence of the crime scene to a certain person. According to www.justice.gov DNA can be used to trace murders from over 300 years ago. If the police department were able to use DNA in the story Closed For The Season, they could have found some particles from the person who pushed Mrs. Donaldson and the crime could have been solved easier and quicker. In conclusion, DNA is pretty interesting tool that the police use in order to determine the innocence or guilt of people.
