What is an Example of individual and class evidence?

Answer 1

Class evidence is the category for most evidence. Class evidence is evidence associated with a group and not a single source.

Example:

general piece of something (like a paint chip)

blood (we can only generalize)

Individual evidence is evidence that can be virtually, unambiguously traced to a source.

Example:

finger prints

DNA

tool marks (under a microscope)

anything torn or broken (must be very specific)

Answer 2

Class evidence is things that can be trace back to many people, such as a tire tread or shoe prints. Individual evidence can be traced back to a certain individual, such as fingerprints, lip prints, or foot prints.
