DESCRIPTION:Reconstructing Scenes Involving Bloodshed\n\n05/06/26 09:00 AM EST\n - 05/06/26 04:00 PM EST\Description:\nFee: $0\nInstructor: Carol Ritter, M.S.\n\nThe best approach to understanding events that did or did not occur at a scene involving blood is to process every scene with a bottom-up mindset rather than a top-down approach where only one theory is pursued (e.g. a particular weapon was used, events occurred a certain way, scene is a suicide, etc.). In other words, initial focus should be on proper documentation, collection, being open-minded to multiple theories, and eventually allowing evidence to test the theories to determine the best explanation of events. To ensure we provide our best for every case, it is essential that all involved from the initial scene processing through to the courtroom understand what is needed by each person in the entire investigation process to best perform their task. For example, when those involved in initially processing scenes have an understanding of what, when, and how information is used by bloodstain pattern analysts, more information regarding the reconstruction of events during bloodletting events is often possible.\Location:\nExpert Witness Testimony Center & Crime Scene Lab Cedar Crest College\n100 College Drive\nAllentown, PA 18104
