What are the 8 steps? |
1. Become familiar with the entire scene 2. Identify the discrete patterns among the many bloodstained surfaces 3. Categorize these patterns based on an established taxonomy 4. Evaluate aspects of directionality and motion 5. Evaluate angles of impact, points of convergence, and areas of origin 6. Evaluate interrelationships among patterns and evidence 7. Evaluate viable source events to explain the pattern based on all evidence 8. Define a best explanation of events |
|
Three basic environments |
1. Active scenes 2. Released scenes 3. Cold case scenes |
|
6 basic mechanisms |
1. Blood dispersed through air by gravity 2. Blood dispersed from a point source by a force 3. Blood ejected over time from and object in motion 4. Blood ejected in volume under pressure 5. Blood that accumulates/flows on a surface 6. Blood deposited through transfer |
