No, other circumstantial evidence deserves equal/more consideration since all evidence is important

can provide evidence of how long ago death occured-davian

No, other circumstantial evidence deserves more consideration since we are only limited to the possible time of death, and location to the corpse.

yes because it can show tod

probably yes because insects could provide more evidence of death

No, over reliance on entomological data could be problematic if the data ends up being wrong or if other evidence ends up giving more information

No, other circumstantial evidence deserves equal/more consideration since all evidence can be unreliable and its important to view them all equally to paint a bigger picture

2024-05-31 17:32:21 UTC

yes because the bugs can tell the time of death

No, other circumstantial evidence deserves equal consideration since nothing is 100% reliable all evidence should be taken into account

2024-05-31 17:32:28 UTC

No because circumstantial evidence can prove to be more useful than forensic entomology evidence which only determines when the person died.

I don't think that forensic entomology should be given more weight than other forms of evidence because they aren't more reliable than other forms.

I think entomology should hold more weight only when the victims body is found outdoors. Where insects are more present.

yes because if the stars align it would always be correct

no, because I feel like other form of evident's collection is better

2024-05-31 17:33:24 UTC

Yes because it can help us indicate which stage of decomposition the body is in, along with the time of death.

No, other circumstantial evidence deserves more consideration since it can show more and other information that is important to investigators including time of death.

No, other circumstantial evidence deserves equal/more consideration since other forms of evidence make it easier to find out TOD and COD and are more efficient than entomology evidence

no because its not more reliable than any other evidence

Tavayne

Yes, because bug help identify the T.O.D based on our knowledge of their life cycle

2024-05-31 17:34:00 UTC

No, entomological data could be problematic if the weather is too hot and if the dead body is in a region where there are a lot of bugs compared to a house where there are not many bugs.

No, other circumstantial evidence deserves equal/more consideration since bugs are factors that can't be controlled whereas evidence based on the physical body can be measured and reliable like time of death.

yes because it can help indicate t,o,d and know when they died. Jeremiah G

no because other subjects hold weight and they all should be held to eqaul standing because it determines on the type of crime and the circumstances
