ABSTRACT
A Methodology for Bloodstain Pattern Analysis In an environment where lawyers routinely attack the tenets of every modern forensic discipline, it is imperative that practitioners of any forensic discipline know and apply a functional methodology. Across any discipline there may be no single “absolute” method; in fact, different functional and valid methods may exist. Although these methodologies may vary in minor ways, they will all follow a predictable path, that of scientific method. Their existence and application enhance the probability that the analyst, no matter what level of expertise, will arrive at a defensible conclusion.
