when processing a crime scene;
(C) determine time of death using entomology; and
(D) determine time and cause of death methodologies
through case studies.
(17) The student understands how physical evidence
can provide a basis for questioning people about a crime and how questioning
can provide leads for finding physical evidence. The student is expected
to:
