Title: The Case of Mary Jane


1
The Case of Mary Jane
  • Richelle Pettit

2
They Call Me Pettit
  • The names Pettit, Richelle Pettit. I am a
    palynologist from the CSI lab in Las Vegas,
    Nevada. I graduated from UCLA with my doctorate
    in Palynology and a minor in Studliness. I have
    currently done investigations for Lil Wayne,
    Lindsay Lohan, and Barack Obama. I am known as
    the brightest young palynologist in the country.

Pollen
  • The fine powder like material consisting of
    pollen grains that is produced by the anthers of
    seed plants.
  • It is produced in the microsporangium of the
    plant, also known as the anther.
  • The pollen for each kind of tree or flower is
    distinctive to that species, so there is no
    definite description for what pollen in general
    looks like - the grains aren't even all round
    the size also varies.
  • Pollen is microscopic in most cases. It looks
    like tiny little yellow grains.
  • There are certain seasons when pollen is
    produced. The pollen has to be mature.
  • Pollens function is to reproduce.
  • It can be transferred by wind, animals, or water.
  • Pollen is distinct to every plant.

4
Marijuana and Pollen
  • Marijuana pollen looks green or brown and has a
    hairy appearance. It is microscopic.
  • Marijuana plants produce an abundance of pollen
    because they are wind pollinated.

5
Locards Principle
  • Locards Principal states that contact between
    individuals and locations leads to an exchange of
    trace evidence.
  • Marijuana plants transfer pollen by wind
    transfer. Pollen can also fall off of the plant
    and be left behind.
  • Pollen is distinct to the plant it is from, which
    can tell the location and possible times of the
    crime.

Pollen in the Case
  • There was indeed a large quantity of marijuana
    pollen found in this apartment.
  • My team, New Directions, collected the evidence
    while wearing gloves and using tape. We
    transported the pollen to our lab and carefully
    examined it under a microscope.
  • The pollen looked brown and fuzzy and had a
    distinct appearance matching marijuana plants.

7
Conclusion
  • My background in palynology and minor in
    studliness gave me enough information to prove
    that marijuana was found in this apartmentand a
    lot of it at that! These college students have
    been smoking and selling more marijuana than
    Michael Phelps after the Olympics!
