Significant advances in forensic science and technology have been  made in just the last 50 to 75 years. The two areas most significantly  affected by these advances, which have allowed investigators to  reevaluate old cases with new tools, are cold case investigations (i.e.,  usually homicide or sexual assault) and exonerating individuals  wrongfully convicted.

 From the perspective of your assigned topic, evaluate modern science’s  potential in reevaluating evidence from historical cases. Provide  examples and specific details about what has changed and the impact it  has had on the criminal justice system.
