The first time forensics was used in a court, a farmer was accused of killing someone, and claimed that the blood on his clothing was pig’s blood. Someone took a sample of the blood, and looked at it under a microscope. Mature human red blood cells do not contain a nucleus, while pig red blood cells do. When he looked under the microscope, there were no nuclei, and this was used to help win the case.
