Featured Case Study: Attempted Murder and Aggravated Assault / Deadly Weapon (Expert Consultation)
Our agency’s most common investigations and consultations involve death and
serious bodily injury, and analysis of the integrity of the official investigation and
evidence. Two parties were involved, the resident (reporting victim) and her
boyfriend (Defendant).
From our review of the photographs, we initially found:
- Defendant’s injuries were dicing (i.e. MVA) a/k/a pseudo-stippling.
-- Reporting victim’s injuries were 1) incised from unknown sharp-edged
instrument – knife or glass; and 2) incised from fine-serrated knife. None were
defensive and they were each different sources. She was sitting when injured, and she was not stabbed, nor was she
injured other than two fingers to cause bleeding.
In the arrest warrant, the detective’s synopsis stated, “The Defendant broke into the victim’s apartment and waited until
she arrived home and attempted to kill her by stabbing her several times but she was able to defend herself and only
received injuries on her hands.”
Then we read the full law enforcement investigation (or lack thereof), and determined what did and did not happen.
What were the circumstances? What was the evidence? What were the findings?
