Calculate the angle of impact for each stain (6 pts). This group of 6 blood stains all showed a single point of convergence. Using this data: The data above was obtained from an area of blood spatter from the crime scene case study addressed in earlier modules. Use the following equation (see module notes), tan I = H/D, to determine the Height of Origin (inches) for each stain (6 pts).
Based on the Height of Origin of each stain, how many different events do you think occurred? (2 pts)
Using the information from 1-3, develop a scenario that may describe what happened. Considering the heights of the points of origin and the fact that the victim was delivered blows to the head and abdomen area – what does this tell you about the position of the body when the blows to the head and abdomen occurred [6 pts]
