  6. Medium Example

  7. Angle • ALL pictures must be taken from a 90 degree angle in order to be admitted into a court of law.

  8. Ruler and Evidence Number • An L-shaped ruler must be visible in all pictures. Most Forensic Scientists recommend taking the exact same picture with and without the ruler. • An evidence number must also be visible.
