The general role of the Bloodstain Pattern Analyst in a criminal investigation is to assist in the reconstruction of those events of an alleged incident that could have created the stains and stain patterns present at a crime scene, on items of physical evidence recovered from that scene and on items of clothing that were present at the crime scene. In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct a bloodstain pattern interpretation using photographs. The usefulness of individual bloodstains and bloodstain patterns lies in their retention of information descriptive of the possible events that could have produced them. The sizes of the individual stains composing a pattern, the shapes of these stains and their distribution relative to one another can be utilized for the purposes of determining how a particular stain or pattern may have been produced. Bloodstain pattern analysis evaluations are conducted to determine what action(s) or sequence of actions could have created the bloodstains and/or patterns observed.…

Of course having her IQ decreased as a consequence of a car accident did not make Amy Cuddy’s life any easier. Sometimes, if not always, life does not work the way we want; the answer a person with a very high IQ might have then is just not the right one to solve the problem and to make things work again as planned. When all that happens, the successful goal one meant to achieve, if everything occurred as planned, will just not be achieved.…
The medical ethics case on Dr. Anna Pou questions the ethics itself in several forms and different issues. The issue is that the medical departments, nationally or locally, should always provide care for patients no matter the type of emergency or disaster. It doesn’t matter the amount of laws and regulations they pass or provide to help medical institutions work easily and efficiently, which should help provide patients with medical care they rightfully deserve and need. In order to be able to successfully allow such difficult decisions to be made and acted upon such circumstances, such as the one occurred in Medical Memorial Hospital in New Orleans, they need to create clear and conscious laws that is workable and lawfully and medically ethical that the head and the staff of the medical institute can follow easily to avoid such situation in the future. As Dr. Pou has been trying to pass laws to help…
Blood is an important piece of evidence at a crime scene. Blood is used for both DNA evidence and blood typing but blood spatter is just as useful. The diameter of blood drops is used to determine the height from which the blood drops fell and the blood drops shape can be used to determine the angle the blood was dropped at. Blood drops can also be used to determine the cause of death at a crime scene and blood drops can even be used to determine the medium that caused the death at the crime scene (PLTW 2016). Blood drops are also used to determine the bloods point of origin (the location of the blood source (PLTW 2016)).…
