Question

6 multiple answer 2 points synthetic fibers, probably from a carpet, found on the body of a victim direct circumstantial biological physical

Explanation:

• Circumstantial: Synthetic fibers from a carpet on a victim’s body are indirect evidence (circumstantial) as they imply a connection (e.g., victim was near the carpeted area) rather than directly proving a crime element.
• Physical: Synthetic fibers are physical evidence (tangible, material evidence) as they are an object/material related to the crime scene.
• Not Direct: Direct evidence would be something like a witness seeing the crime, and fibers are not direct.
• Not Biological: Biological evidence is from living organisms (e.g., DNA, blood), while synthetic fibers are non - biological.

Answer:

B. Circumstantial, D. Physical
