Question

PLEAS HELPPP ITS FOR A FORENSIC SCIENCE CLASS

USE COMPLETE SENTENCES PLEAS

The picture is the crime scene that you will use for the questions there are 1-9 questions and you have to draw out the picture in a peace of paper and DRAW the lines of convergence and area of convergence for question 2 you will also for question 2 For question 2 Do it in order for the question where the person got shot put it by which death is quicker

Directions: In this exam you will be asked to analyze a crime scene and describe what the blood spatter can tell us.
USE COMPLETE SENTENCES AND PROPER SPELLINGS. (You have autocorrect, please use it) blood
The scene:
You enter the scene and find 2 bodies. One has been shot in the head. The other has been shot in the chest and has blood coming from their mouth and nose.

Questions
1) Which man was shot in the head, and which was shot in the chest. Use evidence from the scene to back up your claim. (1pt)

2) Find the area of convergence for both gunshot sites. (2pts)

3) How would you find the angle that the blood impacted the ground? (1pt)

4) How would you explain the bright red smaller spatter? (1pt)

5) How would you explain the small circular drops in-between position 2 and man #2? What does this tell us? (1pt)

6) Why are there large pools of blood below both men’s bodies? (1pt)

7) How do you explain the 1 large droplet going in the opposite direction of the other 4 large droplets in position 2? (1pt)

8) What are the smaller secondary droplets around primary droplets called? (1pt)

9) Who shot first? (1pt)

Answer 1

Answer: Not 100% Sure

1) The man who was shot in the head was shot at a closer range than the man who was shot in the chest, as evidenced by the large pool of blood around his body. The man shot in the chest was shot at a slightly further range, as evidenced by the smaller pools of blood around him.

2) The area of convergence for both gunshot sites can be found by drawing a line from the center of each pool of blood and extending it into the room. The point where the two lines meet is the area of convergence.

3) The angle that the blood impacted the ground can be determined by measuring the angle between the direction of the droplets and the ground.

4) The bright red smaller spatter is caused by the presence of high velocity blood droplets, which are propelled at a high velocity when the bullet impacts the body.

5) The small circular drops in-between position 2 and man #2 are likely caused by a back spatter, which is a phenomenon where blood is propelled in the opposite direction of the force that caused it. This could mean that the man in position 2 was shot first.

6) There are large pools of blood below both men’s bodies because they were both shot at a close range, which caused a large amount of blood to be expelled from their bodies.

7) The large droplet going in the opposite direction of the other 4 large droplets in position 2 is likely caused by a back spatter, which is a phenomenon where blood is propelled in the opposite direction of the force that caused it. This could mean that the man in position 2 was shot first.

8) The smaller secondary droplets around primary droplets are called satellite droplets.

9) It is not possible to tell who shot first based on the evidence provided.
