Ted Bundy was an American serial killer who was convicted on the basis of which type of forensic evidence?
Mcsidney123
At Ted Bundy's trial the prosecution relied heavily on bite marks left on one victim. Although this type of evidence has been criticized by many, in the case of Bundy, who had distinctive teeth and bite, it was enough along with much circumstantial evidence to get him the electric chair.
Circumstantial evidence is misunderstood. It can be very powerful and damning, especially when there is physical evidence to go with it. As in Bundy's case, the chance that someone other than Bundy committed these particular murders would have been astronomical. Put that with eyewitnesses and the fact that anywhere Bundy happened to be young women turned up dead, and the case against him was set.
In the days and even hours before his death, Bundy used his knowledge of body locations to try to buy himself some more time. The state of Florida was having none of it. His execution went on as scheduled.

What is happening in the future of forensic science?
The future of forensic science is looking very bright as new doors open every day in the advancement of criminal investigations with forensic science. Just 25 years ago DNA was unable to be used to find a killer. For evidence of this just watch THE CAPTURE OF THE GREEN RIVER KILLER. In this movie, you learn about a killer in a small town that killed about 20 prostitutes in a small town in the early 80s. When the crimes are first commited DNA evidence can be gathered but they are unable to use it to find the murderer. In the late 90s, they learn of the new technique and send frozen samples in to use for this technique. Even though they are years old, the samples provide the much needed evidence to capture the killer that thought he had gotten away with this.
