Final answer:

Locard's exchange principle, Frye Standard, and Daubert ruling are exemplified in crime scene evidence scenarios and court testimony.


Explanation:

Locard's exchange principle states that every contact leaves a trace, emphasizing the transfer of materials between individuals and environments. The Frye Standard determines the admissibility of scientific evidence based on its general acceptance within the relevant scientific community. The Daubert ruling establishes criteria to evaluate the reliability and relevance of expert testimony in court.

In the given scenarios, the second example best illustrates the principles in order. The fingerprints found on the weapon align with Locard's exchange principle. However, the evidence is then excluded due to not following proper procedure, adhering to the Frye Standard. Finally, the emphasis on methodology and reliability in court testimony aligns with the Daubert ruling.
