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 digitized and returned in a timely manner.
