Answer 1

13. A reference sample of blood was taken from O.J. Simpson to compare it with blood found at the crime scene, helping to establish whether he was present or involved.14. No, officers are not allowed to enter a crime scene carrying evidence from outside the scene, as it could lead to contamination and compromise the integrity of the investigation.15. The LAPD could have implemented strict protocols such as ensuring officers change gloves and clothing between scenes, using separate teams for different locations, and properly logging and securing evidence immediately to prevent cross-contamination.

Answer 2

A reference sample of blood is typically taken to compare it with blood found at the crime scene. Officers should not carry external evidence into a crime scene to avoid contamination. Proper protocols and separation of duties could prevent cross-contamination.
