Throughout the term, you learned about different types of social science evidence, their use in criminal trials, and the implications thereof. For your final project, you are required to research a public trial from recent years. (e.g. Rodney King, O.J. Simpson, Trayvon Martin, Kaycee Anthony, George Floyd) Review videos and/or articles regarding expert witness testimony that was used during the trial. Identify social science evidence that was used during the trial or that should have been used during the trial. Prepare a power point presentation that discusses the use of social science evidence during the trial.
