Manner of Death


       Erin Dillon
Manner of Death:
(the way in which death was
caused)

   Natural – if autopsy reveals a natural disease (ex-
    cancer, pneumonia)
   Accident – if autopsy reveals something unexplained
    (ex- severe head injury with no symptoms of
    assault, but victim found near fallen ladder)
   Suicide - angle of bullet entry and gun powder residue
    indicate that the gun was fired while being held by the
    victim (or self inflicted wounds)
   Homicide – angle of bullet entry and gun powder
    residue indicate that the gun was fired by somone
    other than the victim
History
 o   1248:
      o   Hsi Duan Yu (book) by Sung Tz’u – how to distinguish drowning
          victim from one who was strangled
      o   Position of ―coroner‖ developed
 o   1761:
      o   Giovanni Morgagni
            o Italian anatomist
            o Writes On the Seats and Causes of Diseases
 o   1910:
      o   Richard Cabot
            o American physician
            o Studies 1000 autopsies- doctors are wrong about cause of
              death about 40% of the time
Importance

   In each case, something is learned by
    classifying the ―manner of death‖
    –   Natural: research can be conducted about the
        disease
    –   Accident: this same accident may be prevented
    –   Suicide: future suicides can be prevented by taking
        appropriate measures
    –   Homicide: the killer can be persecuted if found
Special Cases
   Drug Overdose –
    –   Classified as suicide
   Assisted suicide –
    –   classified as ―Suicide‖ (unless otherwise required by state law)
   Deaths in which infants/young children die because of
    placement in a potentially hostile environment
    –   (ex: bath tub with water, or being left in a locked car)
    –   classified asAccident if there is no evidence of intent to harm the child.
   Death of infant/fetus due to maternal drug intoxication –
    –   Can be classified as accident or homicide depending on
        whether or not it is deemed ―intentional‖ by a court

HAIR EVIDENCE   By Joy Lee
DESCRIPTION

 Evidence that involved any
  kind of hair usually
  underwent hair analysis
 Two kinds of hair analysis
   Chemical hair analysis: Used for
    retrospective purposes when
    certain chemicals cannot be
    found in blood or urine
   Microscopic analysis: Used for
    assessing different
    characteristics of hairs and
    comparing them to other hairs
    of “known sources”
IMPORTANT PEOPLE

 Murder case of Duchesse de Praslin
     Charles de Choiseul-Praslin married Fanny Sebastiani
     Had 10 children and lived a fairly happy life together
     Had housekeeper named Henriette Deluzy-Desportes
     Deluzy later had an affair with Praslin
     Fanny insists on getting rid of mistress, but Praslin keeps her for a
      bit
     August 18, 1847, ~4 am, Fanny is found dead in her bedroom with
      slashes across her chest; the room smelled of gunpowder and blood
     Inspector Pierre Allard investigated the case
     Found a pistol under the bed + realized wife’s head was crushed by a
      heavy instrument
     Noticed that the Duke’s gun + clothes stained of blood and hair
     Took a magnifying glass and compared hairs from the gun and of
      Fanny’s
     Praslin found guilty and convicted of his wife’s murder
IMPORTANT PEOPLE

 Francois Goron – First
  forensic scientist to use hair
  to identify people
   Was ordered to investigate the
    death of an unknown victim
   At the time, scientists could not
    differentiate between animal
    and human hair yet
   Goron was then able to discover
    that the hair had been dyed and
    identified the owner
   Eventually led to the arrest of
    the alleged killer
SIGNIFIGANCE

 Fairly easy practice of
  magnifying hair strands and
  comparing the structures
 Low cost
 Can be used as a replacement
  for blood or urine tests + lasts
  much longer
 Ability to measure a large
  number of toxins or other
  chemicals
   To see whether or not absorbed
    poisons link to behavioral / health
    problems

Forensic Anthropology
    by Apollo Santiago
What is forensic anthropology?
• Anthropology—the study of
  humankind (in every aspect, including
  culturally, biologically, archeologically, an
  d linguistically. Anthropos means "man."
  Logy stands for the "science of".)
• Forensic Anthropology—focuses on the
  study of the human skeleton to identify
  unknown remains that show evidence of
  a crime
The Development of
Forensic Anthropology
1878—Thomas Dwight's "The
Identification of the Human Skeleton: A
Medicolegal Study" describes that the gender
and stature characteristics of humans were
determinable by examination of the bones
themselves.

1957—The growth stages of skeletal bones
are identified by Americans Thomas
Mocker and Thomas Stewart, forming
the basis of forensic anthropology.
Webster–
Parkman Case
      (1849)
    1849— John Webster and George Parkman were both
          Harvard professors. In November, Dr. Webster had
 disappeared. The chief witness Ephraim Littlefield revealed
        the vault in the medical school which contained some
      human remains. Most of it had been partially cremated,
  and so dental and skeletal fragments were used to identify
     the remains. It was Dr. Parkman. In November 23, John
       Webster was convicted for murder, and was hanged in
                                                      August.
The Murder of Louisa
           Bicknese
   1897—Adolph Luetgert, a sausage
     manufacturer, claimed his wife ran
     away. His factory was searched. His
     wife's rings, a corset, and several
     bones.George Dorsey was one of the
     first Forensic expert to lead a forensic
     Anthropology investigation. He
     concluded that Luetgert murdered his
     own wife.
Importance of Forensic
Anthropology
 With Forensic Anthropology, as long as
 there are bones, it is possible to determine
 whether or not a crime has taken place.

 Forensic Anthropologysolves
                         what is unknown
 about unidentified individuals by analyzing greatly
 decomposed remains.


 What Forensic Anthropology can
                              determine about an
 individual: age, sex, stature, ancestry, race,
 cause of death, health condition before
 death

 Without Forensic Anthropology, there would be more
 unidentified victims, more unsolved crimes. It is important in
 both legal and humanitarian contexts. It is needed to solve the
 final pieces and bring closure to affected families

•The computer then narrows the search down to possible matches
known as candidates.

•The examiner then compares each canidate individually to make
a possible match.

•Even if the examiner declares a “match” in the system they
typically have to get a copy of the record from the state for a final
AFIS was developed by the FBI during the late nineties in
order to make criminal classification more effective and
efficient.


Errors:
•Though this system is key to tracking down criminals and
convicting the guilty, many people has tired to get around it,
by changing their fingerprints.
•Some criminal has attempted to change their fingerprints
•AFIS allows law enforcement a fast and efficient way to
identify and connect criminals to evidence.

•The average response time for an electronic criminal
fingerprint submission is about 27 minutes, while electronic
civil submissions are processed within an hour and 12
minutes.

•Prior to this time, the processing of ten-print fingerprint
submissions was largely a manual, labor-intensive process,
taking weeks or months to process a single submission.
IBIS
By Rhianna Kern
WHAT?

 Integrated Ballistics Identification System

       Built for the forensic identification of ballistic
       information

 Saves and searches for matches on bullets and
 casings as well as the previous cases they’ve been
 involved in

       Replaced the painstaking task of identification
       by examination by experts
People
―Forensic Technology‖ created IBIS in 1991 to
examine and suggest possible matches beyond
human capacity
IBIS is maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms and Explosives
Importance
Available in 235 sites nationwide; one in every state
and most major metropolitan areas
Major connections between states and coasts can be
made using this technology that was not possible
before.

DNA Profiling -1987
A system of identification using a
 sample of an individual’s DNA


                         DNA is taken
                         from samples of
                         blood, saliva,
                         urine, and semen
                         to be used as
                         evidence
Back to Bio
• DNA is taken from samples of blood, saliva,
  urine, and semen to be used as evidence
• DNA profiling is the gathering, processing, and
  analyzing of the unique sequences on the loci
       **Bio reminder! Locis are an area on a chromosome**

• Sequences called VNTRs (Variable number
  tandem repeats), which are different enough
  from person to person to use as identification
Kary Mullis

• December 28, 1944
• BA of Science from Georgia Institute of Tech
• 1983- Invented the Polymerase Chain Reaction
• PCR= process which multiplies one strand of
  DNA billions of times withing hours
• Won Nobel Prize in chemistry – 1993
Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys
• British, working on advancing DNA technology
  at same time as Mullis
• Credited with invention of DNA profiling
• One of the first scientists to discover split

    1954
by Brian Perkins
About
• Convicted of 2nd degree murder of wife,
  Marilyn Sheppard
• Pleaded not guilty
• Sentenced to life in prison
Controversy
• Sam Sheppard claimed “bushy haired man”
  murdered his wife
• Freed July 16, 1964 after finding 5 violations
  of Sheppard’s constitutional rights during his
  trial
• Trial to reinstate conviction on Nov. 1, 1966
  – Found not guilty
Inspiration
• Basis for movies, TV shows, and books
Why is this important?
• Showed flaws in the system at that time
• Need for more accurate genetic tests
George Zirkel
   Police Officer in Berkeley Police Department

   First American to use polygraph in criminal
    investigations
   Invented in 1921

   Used blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and
    skin conductivity during test

   First practical use led to guilty sentence on
    murderer William Hightower
   Over the next fifteen years, Larson assisted in
    hundreds of criminal cases

   Still used today to help convict criminals
Fingerprints

history

Fingerprinting actually
dates back to
Babylonian times

The murder of two boys
in Buenos Aires was the
first use in a criminal
investigation.
classification systems
             Sir Francis Galton
             developed the first
             fingerprint classification
             system

             Sir Edward Henry added
             to Galton’s system and
             the Henry Classification
             System became the

fingerprinting in
crime investigation
modern fingerprinting
By AndiLeibowitz
• Comparison with one (or more) known voices with an
  unknown voice
• First studied at Bell Labs in New Jersey in
  1940

• Developed originally for military purposes
• Was not used for forensic purposes until
  the 1960s
• The technique was first adopted by the
  Michigan State Police
• Since 1967, over 5,000 law enforcement
  related identification cases have been
  processed by certified voiceprint
  examiners.
• Voiceprint analysis has been used in
  criminal cases such as:
  •Murder
  • Rape
  • Extortion
  • Burglary
  • Etc

Blood Types
By: Julianna Robinson
Who

•   Karl Landsteiner
    o   June 14, 1868 - June 26, 1943


•   Nobel Prize (1930)
Where

•   University of Vienna, Austria
Why

•   Landsteiner was curious to find out why
    some people died and some people became
    better during blood transfusions



•   Discovered that the wrong blood inserted in
    one's body can cause death
Importance

•   Blood transfusions were now possible



•   Blood banks were created to preserve blood
    for 2-3 week periods to make major
    surgeries possible
How

•   Landsteiner cross tested sera and red cells
    from scientists working in his lab, including
    his own. His findings revealed that blood
    from certain scientists caused the blood of
    others to clump, suggesting the existence of
    at least two antibody classes.
•   Eventually discovered the four types of
    blood.
What

•   Definition: A blood type is a classification of
    blood based on the presence or absence of
    inherited antigenic substances on the
    surface of red blood cells
•
    Types: A, B, AB, O
CODIS
   Tyler Richardett
What is CODIS?
• “Combined DNA Index System”
• FBI’s program of support for criminal justice
  DNA databases as well as the software used to
  run these databases
• National DNA Index System (NDIS) is
  considered one part of CODIS
 ▫ Contains the DNA profiles contributed by federal,
   state, and local participating forensic laboratories
Development
• Outgrowth of the Technical Working Group on DNA
  Analysis Methods (TWGDAM)
  ▫ Developed guidelines for standards of practice in the
    United States and Canadian crime laboratories as they
    began DNA testing in the late 1980s
• FBI Laboratory began pilot project with six state and
  local crime laboratories to develop software to
  support each laboratory's DNA testing and allow
  sharing of profiles
• The DNA Identification Act of 1994 formally
  authorized the FBI to operate CODIS
  ▫ Did not become fully operational until 1998
DNA Markers
•   CSF1PO
•   D3S1358
•   D5s818
•   D7s820
•   D8S1179
•   D13s317
•   D16s539
•   D18s51
•   D21s11
•   FGA
•   THO1
•   TPOX
•   vWA
Importance
• DNA profile of the suspected perpetrator is developed
  from the swabs in the kit
• Forensic unknown profile attributed to the suspected
  perpetrator is searched against their state database of
  convicted offender and arrestee
  ▫ If there is a match, laboratory will go through procedures to
    confirm the match obtain the identity of the suspect
• DNA profile from the evidence also searched against the
  state’s database of crime scene DNA profiles
  ▫ If there is a match, laboratory goes through the
    confirmation procedures the match will have linked two or
    more crimes together
• Law enforcement agencies involved in these cases are
  then able to share the information obtained on each of
  the cases and possibly develop additional leads

  • 1. Manner of Death Erin Dillon
  • 2. Manner of Death: (the way in which death was caused)  Natural – if autopsy reveals a natural disease (ex- cancer, pneumonia)  Accident – if autopsy reveals something unexplained (ex- severe head injury with no symptoms of assault, but victim found near fallen ladder)  Suicide - angle of bullet entry and gun powder residue indicate that the gun was fired while being held by the victim (or self inflicted wounds)  Homicide – angle of bullet entry and gun powder residue indicate that the gun was fired by somone other than the victim

  • 5. Special Cases  Drug Overdose – – Classified as suicide  Assisted suicide – – classified as ―Suicide‖ (unless otherwise required by state law)  Deaths in which infants/young children die because of placement in a potentially hostile environment – (ex: bath tub with water, or being left in a locked car) – classified asAccident if there is no evidence of intent to harm the child.  Death of infant/fetus due to maternal drug intoxication – – Can be classified as accident or homicide depending on whether or not it is deemed ―intentional‖ by a court

  • 13. HAIR EVIDENCE By Joy Lee
  • 14. DESCRIPTION  Evidence that involved any kind of hair usually underwent hair analysis  Two kinds of hair analysis  Chemical hair analysis: Used for retrospective purposes when certain chemicals cannot be found in blood or urine  Microscopic analysis: Used for assessing different characteristics of hairs and comparing them to other hairs of “known sources”
  • 15. IMPORTANT PEOPLE  Murder case of Duchesse de Praslin  Charles de Choiseul-Praslin married Fanny Sebastiani  Had 10 children and lived a fairly happy life together  Had housekeeper named Henriette Deluzy-Desportes  Deluzy later had an affair with Praslin  Fanny insists on getting rid of mistress, but Praslin keeps her for a bit  August 18, 1847, ~4 am, Fanny is found dead in her bedroom with slashes across her chest; the room smelled of gunpowder and blood  Inspector Pierre Allard investigated the case  Found a pistol under the bed + realized wife’s head was crushed by a heavy instrument  Noticed that the Duke’s gun + clothes stained of blood and hair  Took a magnifying glass and compared hairs from the gun and of Fanny’s  Praslin found guilty and convicted of his wife’s murder
  • 16. IMPORTANT PEOPLE  Francois Goron – First forensic scientist to use hair to identify people  Was ordered to investigate the death of an unknown victim  At the time, scientists could not differentiate between animal and human hair yet  Goron was then able to discover that the hair had been dyed and identified the owner  Eventually led to the arrest of the alleged killer
  • 17. SIGNIFIGANCE  Fairly easy practice of magnifying hair strands and comparing the structures  Low cost  Can be used as a replacement for blood or urine tests + lasts much longer  Ability to measure a large number of toxins or other chemicals  To see whether or not absorbed poisons link to behavioral / health problems

  • 24. Forensic Anthropology by Apollo Santiago
  • 25. What is forensic anthropology? • Anthropology—the study of humankind (in every aspect, including culturally, biologically, archeologically, an d linguistically. Anthropos means "man." Logy stands for the "science of".) • Forensic Anthropology—focuses on the study of the human skeleton to identify unknown remains that show evidence of a crime
  • 26. The Development of Forensic Anthropology 1878—Thomas Dwight's "The Identification of the Human Skeleton: A Medicolegal Study" describes that the gender and stature characteristics of humans were determinable by examination of the bones themselves. 1957—The growth stages of skeletal bones are identified by Americans Thomas Mocker and Thomas Stewart, forming the basis of forensic anthropology.
  • 27. Webster– Parkman Case (1849) 1849— John Webster and George Parkman were both Harvard professors. In November, Dr. Webster had disappeared. The chief witness Ephraim Littlefield revealed the vault in the medical school which contained some human remains. Most of it had been partially cremated, and so dental and skeletal fragments were used to identify the remains. It was Dr. Parkman. In November 23, John Webster was convicted for murder, and was hanged in August.
  • 28. The Murder of Louisa Bicknese 1897—Adolph Luetgert, a sausage manufacturer, claimed his wife ran away. His factory was searched. His wife's rings, a corset, and several bones.George Dorsey was one of the first Forensic expert to lead a forensic Anthropology investigation. He concluded that Luetgert murdered his own wife.
  • 29. Importance of Forensic Anthropology With Forensic Anthropology, as long as there are bones, it is possible to determine whether or not a crime has taken place. Forensic Anthropologysolves what is unknown about unidentified individuals by analyzing greatly decomposed remains. What Forensic Anthropology can determine about an individual: age, sex, stature, ancestry, race, cause of death, health condition before death Without Forensic Anthropology, there would be more unidentified victims, more unsolved crimes. It is important in both legal and humanitarian contexts. It is needed to solve the final pieces and bring closure to affected families

Editor's Notes

  1. Blood Spatter Analysis [can be defined as] – A field of forensic science that deals with the physical properties of blood and the patterns produced under different conditions as a result of various forces applied to the source of the blood.The blood spatter evidence can reveal information based on the angle of impact, drip pattern, dispersion, wipe pattern, velocity and location of the blood.
  2. Blood Spatter analysis has been studied since the late 1890s, howeverinvestigators haven&apos;t always recognized how valuable it can be. It wasn’t until the late 1950s that this evidence began to be used to it’s full potential.There were three main people who were involved in the development of blood spatter research: Doctors Piotrowski, Kirk, and MacDonell.
  3. The first known study of blood spatters occurred at the Institute for Forensic Medicine in Poland, by Dr. Eduard Piotrowski. Piotrowski recognized that “It is of the highest importance to the field of forensic medicine to give the fullest attention to bloodstains found at the scene of a crime because they can throw light on a murder and provide an explanation for the essential moments of the incident.”His work has been documented and preserved in the book &quot;Concerning the Origin, Shape, Direction and Distribution of the Bloodstains Following Head Wounds Caused by Blows” in 1895[In the image: the original published copy in German]
  4. Kirk studied the effect of velocity, angle of impact and the combination of the two. Cases that included the interpretation of blood spatters didn&apos;t appear until about 50 years after Piotrowski’s original research.In the highly publicized case of the State of Ohio v. Samuel Sheppard in 1955, Dr. Paul Kirk submitted blood spatter evidence, marking one of the earliest instances of the legal system recognizing the importance of blood spatter. Dr. Kirk established the relative positions of the attacker and the victim as well as showing that the attackerstruck the victim with his left hand.
  5. The next significant person in the field was Dr. Herbert MacDonell, who published &quot;Flight Characteristics of Human Blood and Stain Patterns&quot; in 1971. In 1973, MacDonell developed the Bloodstain Evidence Institute, where he trained law-enforcement in blood spatter analysis and developed courses to continue to train analysts. As a result, he is widely recognized as the “father” of bloodstain pattern analysis in the Western hemisphere.In 1983, he and other attendees of the Bloodstain Evidence Institute founded the International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts (IABPA).
  6. Since then, the field of bloodstain analysis has continued to grow and develop. It has now become standard practice for law enforcement to include during crime-scene investigation.Piotrowski recognized that “It is of the highest importance to the field of forensic medicine to give the fullest attention to bloodstains found at the scene of a crime because they can throw light on a murder and provide an explanation for the essential moments of the incident.”
  7. Unknown femaleAt the time of her death, she held onto a chunk of hairFirst classifed the hair as nonhumanGoron later did research on different hairs and fibersGoron’s research led to many more discoveries and studies of different kinds of hair
  8. Chemicals are found to longest impressions in the hair compared to anywhere elsePicture on the right explains how chemicals from the blood travel into our hair
  9. Any surface with marks or writing  so if there’s writing on the walls or floor, then that also falls under questioned documents.
  10. Now that we know what questioned documents are, we’re gonna move on to QDE, the process of analyzing those documents. fraud investigation, forgery specialists, forensic stylistics, computer crime investigationEACH ASPECT OF THE DOCUMENT IS EXAMINED  materials used to write the documents. What it’s made out of, etc.
  11. Earliest QD examiner is Jean Mabillon. His work would later evolve into QDE.Albert S. Osborn invited some of his colleagues from the US and Canada to talk about and share research on QDE.3 decades, hos books regarded as classics in the field. Had more informal meetings with his colleagues until official formation of ASQDE, the field’s leading organization.
  12. Not only fingerprints, but corresponding criminal histories; mug shots; scars and tattoo photos; physical characteristics like height, weight, and hair and eye color; and aliases.
  13. The Henry Classification System allowed categorization of ten-print fingerprint records into primary groupings based on fingerprint pattern types. Placed fingerprints into categories and did not allow correct classification of individual prints. The Henry Classification System assigns each finger a number according to the order in which is it located in the hand, then assigned a numerical value to fingers that contain a whorl pattern; fingers 1 and 2 each have a value of 16, fingers 3 and 4 have a value of 8, and so on, with the final two fingers having a value of 1. Fingers with a non-whorl pattern, such as an arch or loop pattern, have a value of zero. The value of 1 is added to each sum of the whorls with the maximum obtainable being 32. Thus, the primary classification is a fraction between 1/1 to 32/32 where 1/1 would indicate no whorl patterns and 32/32 would mean that all fingers had whorl patterns
  14. To surgically remove fingerprints doctors cut out your prints and replace it with skin from beneath your foot or in extreme cases doctors replace it with another persons fingerprint. Usually both the doctor and criminal are convicted in the end.
  15. DNA profiling is the gathering, processing, and analyzing of the unique sequences on the loci**Bio reminder! Locis are an area on a chromosome**Sequences called VNTRs (Variable number tandem repeats), which are different enough from person to person to use as identification
  16. Aka criminal profiling, criminal personality profiling, criminological profiling, behavioral profiling or criminal investigative analysis
  17. Although no solid evidence can be obtained from this process, it’s a behavioral and investigative tool intended to help investigators to accurately predict and profile the characteristics of unknown criminal subjects or offenders; Thus, guiding the investigation in the right direction. In modern criminology, offender profiling is generally considered the &quot;third wave&quot; of investigative science: 1) study of clues 2) study of crime itself 3) study of the psyche of the criminal.
  18. In the 19th century, J.F., C.L., A.B., H.G. and several others realized the potential of p.p. Except, their research is generally considered to be prejudiced, reflecting the biases of their time. In the 1940s, investigations relied on mental health professionals to create a profile of an offender in order to aid the police investigation. Soon after, J.B. was called upon to analyze the information on the Mad Bomber in New York City, and he created an accurate profile of the offender. This caught the attention of the FBI, who then worked to develop a technique for profiling, based on the process used by Brussel.
  19. Assisted in the autopsy of Mary Kelly. In his notes, he mentioned the sexual nature of the murders coupled with elements of apparent misogyny and rage. Bond tried to reconstruct the murder and interpret the behavior pattern of the offender.

Dr. Bond later concluded that the same offender was responsible for the murder of Alice McKenzie.
