Question
explain your reassigning - what makes? this evidence either class or individual
your answer
evidence 9: a bullet is found at a crime scene. a gun is found at the suspect’s house that fires the same caliber bullet. striation (scratch) marks on the crime scene bullet match the striations on known bullets fired from the suspect’s gun. can the bullet be individualized to the suspect’s gun? or is this class evidence?
class
individual
For the multiple - choice part:
Class evidence is associated with a group, while individual evidence can be linked to a specific source. Here, the striation marks on the crime - scene bullet match those on bullets fired from the suspect's gun. Striation marks are unique to a particular gun (like a fingerprint for a gun), so this bullet can be individualized to the suspect's gun. So the evidence is individual.
