Ralph Voosen Trial

Great Essays
Murder of Ralph Voosen On March 2nd at 1a.m., Officer J. Beach found a dead body lying on the ground. That person was identified as Ralph Voosen. He had a gunshot wound in his head and was surrounded by blood all over the floor. The time of death was estimated between 11p.m. and midnight on March 1. There was a note found in Mr. Voosen’s right pants pocket that read, “Meet me in your classroom at 11p.m. tonight. We need to talk.” I suspect that Brian Craig killed Mr. Voosen. I completed a blood analysis, DNA, handwriting, and footprint test to get to this conclusion. The first test was blood analysis. My results showed that the blood type found at the scene of the crime was A positive. The test also proved that Ralph Voosen and Brian Craig also have A positive blood. The blood at the crime scene on the door handle could’ve been Mr. Voosen’s or Mr. Craig’s. It wasn’t Tom Henry’s because his blood type is B positive. The second test I completed was a DNA test. Neither Mr. Voosen, Julie Taylor, or Mark Mudd’s DNA matched the DNA found at the scene of the crime. The crime scene sample only had one fragment which was red and was 10mm. Mr. Voosen’s DNA had a red fragment that was 7mm and then a yellow fragment which was 5mm. Ms. Taylor’s DNA had three fragments: blue (8mm), red (10mm), and yellow (7mm). Lastly, Mark Mudd’s DNA had a blue fragment that was 5mm and a red fragment that was 9mm. This evidence doesn’t lead me to anything except the fact that Ms. Taylor’s and Mr. Mudd’s DNA was not found at the crime so they couldn’t have killed Voosen. Since there was not a sample of DNA from Mr. Craig to test, for all I know it could’ve matched the DNA from …show more content…
I got to use two different shoe impressions that were found outside the school at the scene of the crime. Ms. Taylor’s shoe didn’t match because there are four rectangles on the sole of her shoe. Mr. Voosen’s and Mr. Mudd’s also didn’t match either impressions. Mr. Mudd’s has a big circle in the middle, and Mr. Voosen’s has rectangles around the border. Mr. Henry’s shoe sole matched one of the impressions because they both have a bunch of circles in the middle areas of the shoe. Mr. Craig’s match the other impression. It’s surrounded with triangles and there are arrow shapes in the middle. This evidence shows that both Mr. Craig and Mr. Henry were at the school on the day of the crime. I only think Mr. Craig killed Voosen because more evidence points to him and evidence points away from Mr. Henry. It was probably just a coincidence that Mr. Henry was at the school. I believe that Brain Craig killed Ralph Voosen. His blood is A positive just like the blood on the door handle. Also, his footprint was found outside the crime scene. I think that they met up that night for a whip-off. Mr. Craig whipped to hard and punched Voosen. Voosen probably was unconscious and Mr. Craig got so scared that he shot him and ran off. That would explain how blood got on the door handle. Mr. Craig’s hand started bleeding from hitting Voosen and the blood got on the door when he

    All of them had been inflicted shortly before death and one on the temple caused by a crushing blow. Sir Spilsbury also pointed out the absence of signs of asphyxiation and scars around the neck, and this was used as evidence against Norman Thorne’s story of Elsie’s death. The fact that this case was solved almost 20 years later correlates with the very little doubting’s regarding the accuracy of the science used. This illustrates how forensic science did in fact lead policing to develop, as well as detective methods. Forensic science was a huge breakthrough in dealing with crime; it was not until after its development that policing really improved.…

    A Bloodstain Pattern Expert (BPE) sustains the job of formulating a theory as to what happened on the crime scene and answering questions about it. In order to do this, the BPE relies on a type of forensic science called Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) that helps obtaining DNA testing, autopsy results, bullet trajectory, and other relevant information to the case. The purpose of this paper is to explain and direct the reader into a better understanding of what this area of forensic deals with. Education and training of a BPE and directionality of blood spatter, as well as its proper documentation, are some of the outcomes that will be later explained in future sections of this paper.

    For the first blood drop given to us the width was .33mm, the length was .97mm, and the distance was 26 inches. Using the equations stated above we plug in the numbers and we determine that the angle of impact to be 19.9. After we determine the angle we plug it in the second equation and we get 9.4 for the area of origin. We will then do that for the next numbers of the remaining blood stains. The rest of the angle of impacts are 61.64, 22.2, 39.86, and the rest of the area of origin are 10.2, 10.6, and 10.0.…
