Blood spray patter pics link?
Earlier today or yesterday someone posted very graphic, but very useful, photo of the blood spray pattern at a crime scence. I don't see it anymore. Can anyone post a link?

Thanks in advance.

1. May I just say that pics of another crime scene can never be more than
circumstantial evidence at best. I remember having a discussion with a paranoid right-winger about details from the Vince Foster crime scene in which he would insist that, for example, Foster's eye glasses must have fallen off his body as he was being takne to Fort Marcie Park because they were too far from the body to have been blown off by a gun blast, and he cited case history after case history of suicides and murders of victims wearing glasses. He insisted that these proved that the distance of the glasses from the body was damning proof that Foster had been murdered. He would not hear the simple fact that the glasses could have wound up where they were for any number of reasons unique to the Foster case. So I just caution you not to allow your armchair sleuthing to lead you to draw conclusions you really can't draw without observing the crime scene and body in question. Every crime is unique.

2. Narrow purpose
That poster posted that picture to make one narrow point -- the blood spray pattern when a major artery is severed. Forensic pathologists routinely use such patterns from one crime to analyze another crime.

3. True. But just because blood sprays like that in most beheadings
doesn't mean it sprays like that in all. Know what I mean? I just mean to caution you against looking at another crime scene and thinking it "proves" something about the Berg case. The Berg murder was unique. There may be a reason why the blood didn't spray that isn't obvious. I'm not arguing that your hypotheses are wrong. I'm arguing in favor of caution. I just saw what incaution looked like around the Vince Foster case. It breeds obsession.

8. Oh for the days...
