THE INTERPRETATION
OF SHAPE, LOCATION, SIZE AND DIRECTIONALITY OF BLOODSTAINS RELATIVE TO THE
FORCES THAT CREATED THEM
What may Bloodstain Pattern
Analysis do for your case?
BPA (Bloodstain Pattern Analysis) may on many occasions, clearly define
the location of the victim or the assailant(s) by establishing the actions
of either or both.
Possible and impossible scenarios may be established to determine if the
victim/witness/assailant is accurately describing what took place.
What type of weapon or impact occurred to cause the bloodstains present?
How many times was the victim struck ?
Where was the victim(s) at the time the injuries were inflicted?
Where was the assailant(s) during and following the assault?
Is the bloodstain evidence consistent with the medical examiner findings?
Is the bloodstain evidence on the suspect and his clothing consistent
with the crime scene?
Is BPA reliable and acceptable in Court?
Numerous courts throughout the country have upheld the value and scientific
reliability of BPA. Court case information is available upon request.
Expert testimony has been provided by Norman Reeves in the State of New
Jersey since 1978 and, who is in fact, the first person to testify on this
type of evidence in New Jersey.
BPA is a valuable asset during and after the initial investigation. BPA
has been extremely valuable during the establishment of the courtroom trial
strategy.
What happens when an analyst is retained?
On site crime scene examination is preferred in most cases but much work
can be done with the use of crime scene photographs, video and reports.
All reports such as statements, medical examiner, police and forensic examinations
concerning the investigation, are necessary for this evaluation. With the
review of these reports, the evaluation can be considered.
Photographs are digitizedand returned in a timely manner.
How can we learn more about BPA and retain an analyst?

familiarization presentation is available for you and your staff about the
history, theory, and practical application of BPA.
