20. A white powder was found in a plastic bag in a suspect's pocket. Some similar powder was found on the victim. Can the first powder be individualized to the second powder? Select the best response.
a) Yes, if the two powders are chemically tested and it is shown that they are the same substance
b) Yes, the probability of having a suspect with a similar powder to that which was found on the victim
is so small that it must have come from the same bag
c) No, if the two powders are chemically tested and it is shown that they are the same substance this
does not mean the powder came from the exact same place. Many Other people could have the same
substance as well.
d) No, the powder could not have come from the same bag because the bag is closed, therefore powder
could not get out of the bag
