Paraffin Casting

On Friday, May 4,2007, together with Isabelle we observed a paraffin casting. A civilian from Loboc, Bohol was blaimed firing a gun in there place. He wants to prove that he not guilty, he undergo paraffin casting to know if there are gun powder in his hands. Sir Chan performed the casting by heating wax. The wax would be applied to the suspect's hands. It is very very hot that the suspect would nearly cry. His body was colored red. Then after, Sir Chan placed cotton and applied wax again and they will wait for it to dry. Sir Chan made it to the other hand. When it was already dry, they removed the hand and the cotton that was cast was left. It would go for further examination by our supervisor but since Ma'am Vicky was on a court duty, the further examination would be done next week.

When I saw the pain in the suspect, just seeing the casting made me wanna cry. Just seeing the casting, I felt the pain. I told myself that I don't want to experienced the same thing the suspect experienced. That is why, I wouldn't fire a gun illegally.
