Post-mortem

I'm still reading the book post mortem. You already know the major points in the book so let me go on with what I have to say. In the part that I'm reading now Mariano calls Dr.scarpetta because there has been another murder. They knew this moment was going to come but they didn't know when. It seems like the killing was like the others so I looks like the killer is back on the move.
Remember that news reporter that kept doing articles about the cases. I think he. Name was
Abby Turnbull. It turns out that was her sister that got killed. They shared the same bedroom on he campus I guess. So this made me think about how th actions of others have an effect on you. Maybe the killer got really pissed off at Abby for writing all those articles about the case. Those articles made the public more aware and that probably go the killer mad. Imnot completed sure of this but thanks to her articles her sister is now dead.
I'm pretty sure that the killer was going for her though. It just happens that her sister was in the room and Abby wasn't and the killer killed the sister. He couldnt risk keeping the sister alive. So it's crazy how Abby should of been dead but instead her sister had to pay the price.
What we do can eithe have a good, bad, huge, or small impact on us.

Post-mortem

I am currently reading the book post-mortem. I've been blogging about this book for a while so I'm not going to waist my time to explain it. Today I read alittle bit of the book and noticed something that was happening. In the story somebody keeps sabotaging the evidence. They keep tryin to look in the information of Lori Peterson. But nobody knows who it is. They think it's Dr. Scarpetta or a stranger from the outside. Who knows maybe it could be the murderer trying to mess with the case. But what I noticed was that nobody is stopping to think about how maybe it could be somebody from their own labs and offices.
Just because they work there doesn't mean they are perfectly innocent and it doesn't mean they don't have to be questioned or suspected. We are so comfortable with the people around us and we don't stop to think about how maybe those are rhe people we need to watch out for the most. They are the ones who know us perfectly well and can easily use that information against us.
So Dr.Scarpetta needs to be more careful. The people in the lab know perfectly well about the investigation. In fact thu are the only ones who know about the case unless the murderer is keeping up on them. So let's supposed they are the only ones who knows, it has to be one of them who is messing with the evidence.

post-mortem

 i am currently reading the book "post-mortem". i want to talk about a part in the book where Dr.Scarpetta is called into margaret's office to talk about something. Apparently someone broke into the system to try to steal information from  the case. they suspect it was a news reporter that wanted information to release out into the public. i don't think it was right for them to release information like that because it can put people at risk. also they may put the wrong information out there.
for example now the media has a habit of being nosey and spreading false information. they are always in celebrities lives and ruining it. the media just puts stuff out there and doesn't care about how it affects the people.
that reporter is doing that same thing. all she wants is to get paid and thats it. last time i checked news reporters were supposed to inform the public with good intentions. they don't want them to be harmed or put in danger. so     why break in to some ones computer to put the public at risk?

post-mortem

I am currently reading the book post-mortem. I'm not really into the book yet but i have a few ideas. so far in the book a woman named lori peterson is murdered. this case is similar to 3 other murders. Dr.Scarpetta is the medical examiner who is working with detective marino to find this serial killer.
there is some evidence that can cause the husband to be a suspect. marino is 100% sure it was the husband, matt Petersen. but Dr.Scarpetta does not agree with it. she looks at every possible angle and thinks things through. marino wants to accuse him right away and is the type of cop that rely on only evidence.
as a cop you have to take your time and try to put the right guy/woman in jail. you cant just make assumptions from the evidence. yes the evidence is important but you have to think things through. somebody's freedom is at risk and you don't want to make a mistake.

Ok, so this is my last blog post of the book "Body of Evidence". i finished the book today and it turned out to be a pretty good book. i am going to admit it was a little confusing because detective work is always difficult to understand.
but one thing i noticed was that in that one case there were many different details that sort of came together like a puzzle in the end. its like every piece of evidence is connected to some other person and that other person is connected to some other person that is responsible for the murder. pretty weird right?
that part of the book made me think about how some people ask questions like does everybody in this world know somebody dat knows another person that knows your sister or somebody. i personally do believe that we all link up somehow. it doesnt necessarily have to be in a murder case. you can apply it to anything.

Body of evidence

So this is my second week of reading body of evidence, wand this time I'm actually ahead in the book. The characters in the book are moving on with the case and coming across some obstacles. This book is getting interesting to me and I can actaully learn fromthis since I want to be a csi. I'm noticing how patient an exact you have to be with your work. This book shows how every single detail of a case affects it somehow. If they don't keep in touch with each and fill each other in there will go nowhere. They have to work together to accomplish what they want.this book also showed me how important it is to know how human beige react to certain things and the actions that they make. If cops couldn't determine that they could never figure the killer. But I we all acted the same way cops wouldn't be able to rely on that information either. Simple things like that have a great impact on you being a suspect or not. This book shows the process of how long cases are. Not everyone is suitable for this job. The characters in the book are very hard ore people and they may come across as mean. But that is part of doing there job. They have to intimidate the suspects in order to get them to say what they want to hear. Alot of people these days don't really like cops because of how they act. But they can't take chances with anyone and people don't understand that. They are justdoing there job. I personally don't blame for the way that thy come across to people. I do admit that hey takeadvantage of heir powers and go alittle bit overboard but they may or may not have a criminal I. Front of them.

body of evidence

I just started reading the book 'Body Of  Evidence'  yesterday. I haven't really gotten that far into the book so I can't do much deep thinking. So far in the book there a woman named Beryl Madison. This woman has been murdered. She has been getting stalked and receiving weird phone calls since last year. There is a group of agents who try to find the murderer using forensic science. They are forced to ask themselves some hard questions to try to put the pieces to the puzzle together.
They have to come up with there answers themselves. The way that they make it seem, its considered unethical to use information from other agencies and companies. In the book Kay Scarpetta, the agent whose trying to find the murderer, receives possible good information from a suspect. But that information is from another agency. Its good information but wouldn't it be considered "dirty" information since its from the enemy. You should take that information and use it to the best of your ability. Its not every time you can get good information like that. When it depends on finding a murderer or saving the life of someone your gonna have to change the rules a little bit when it comes to sharing information. Technically it would be considered wrong, but it is for a good cause.
