  1. Blood Spatter PatternsMurder or Self Defense? Chris Schaefer, OMS II PriyaNileshwar, OMS I NnaemekaDiribe, OMSI

  2. Types of Patterns

  3. High Velocity

  4. Medium Velocity

  5. Low Velocity

  6. How can we find out where the blood came from?

  7. Pattern Analysis Select drops of blood with an easily identifiable shape Measure length and width of droplet

  8. Pattern Analysis Divide width by length This gives you the sine of the angle at which the blood impacted the wall

  9. Pattern Analysis Measure angle with protractor and attach a string next to the droplet at angle of impact Where all the strings come together gives location of source of blood

  10. Which Drops are Good?

  11. Good!

  12. Which Drops are Good?

  13. Bad!

  14. Measure Length and Width

  15. Divide Length by Width Width Length

  16. Determining Angle This will give you a decimal number The actual formula (for those of you with a little bit of Trigonometry) is arcsin(number)=angle

  17. Math?!? Say What?

  18. Determining Angle We can just estimate with this table .1 = 6 degree angle.2 = 11 degree angle.3 = 17 degree angle.4 = 24 degree angle.5 = 30 degree angle.6 = 37 degree angle.7 = 45 degree angle.8 = 53 degree angle.9 = 64 degree angle1 = 90 degree angle

  19. Measure Angle and String

  20. Area of Convergence

  21. Case How can we know if a killing was due to self defense or murder?

  22. Story Stewie states that he was defending himself against Brian who was coming after him with a knife. Both of them were standing when this happened. Stewie says he struck Brian in the head while he was still standing.

  23. Evidence

  24. Is he telling the truth?

  25. High or Low Velocity ?

  26. Good or Bad Pattern?

  27. Good Pattern must have a tail.True/False?
