JFK forensic workshop!

The case students were looking at was the  JFK assassination.  Forensics include ballistics, fingerprints, facial recognition, autopsy, trace evidence & exploring the main theories / links with history.   Students really enjoyed the JFK workshop, critical thinking at its best ! 
They quickly discovered that the forensic evidence raises serious questions about the official verdict !  Well done to the 73 TYs who turned up for the workshop.
