Answer 2

Answer:

1. Option D) Deciding if the procedure, principles or techniques in question in a forensic case are generally accepted by the relevant scientific community.

2. Option A) thin-layer chromatography

3. Option A) when the jury considers the verdict

Explanation:

1. The Frye Standard is a procedure to determine if the piece of evidence is admissible in a court of law. This is a rigorous test to test how well the evidence can be used against a criminal or prove a case in the court of law. This came after a ruling that an experts advice only was insufficient to prove a case.

2. Thin layer chromatography is used to separate the ink components. This is because the ink is made of different components that have different volatlitities and solublies in the alcohol solution. The inks can be compared by looking at the partitioning coefficient and comparing the two distances traveled by the components.

3. The guilty cannot plead a case when the verdict has been given. At that moment, the case is closed.
