BASIC BLOODSTAIN PATTERN IDENTIFICATION AND EXPERIMENTATION
September 22-26, 2008
An intensive five-day program providing participants training and assistance in the proper recognition of bloodstain pattern evidence to include actual laboratory experimentation of blood flight characteristics to motion and force. Such experiments will be augmented with lecture material and case presentation for the ultimate purpose of reconstruction of the sequence of events which occurred at the scene of the crime. This is a hands-on workshop which will allow the participants to work individually and in small groups as they acquire the necessary knowledge and skills required of a bloodstain pattern analyst. The bloodstain evidence that will be analyzed will include that which is present at the crime scene, in a vehicle, on victims and/or subject’s clothing, or on discarded evidence such as knives, firearms and other weapons. Topics include: (1) safety when dealing with biological fluids; (2) refresher lecture materials on bloodstain pattern documentation, laboratory experiments involving diameter of stain vs. distance fallen and diameter of stain vs. volume of drop; (3) stain appearance as a function of the target surface; (4) impact of angle on stain shape; (5) horizontal motion on stain shape; (6) effect of stain diameter and target surface on drying time; (7) splashed bloodstain dispersion; (8) dripped bloodstain dispersion; (9) cast-off bloodstain dispersion; (10) projected bloodstain dispersion; (11) HVIS gunshot blood spatter patterns; (12) blood spatter patterns (13) MVIS blunt force spatter patterns; (14) LVIS low impact spatter patterns; (15) report writing; and (16) courtroom testimony.
