What Are the Stages of Crime Scene Reconstruction?

Your upcoming case is very important. It’s not only a very big deal for the defendant, obviously, but this is also a big case for you professionally as well. You want to make sure you get it all right. You need to ensure the judge and jury reach the verdict you are arguing for. This can’t and shouldn’t be done on your own. There’s no shame in that. A doctor doesn’t handle every aspect of someone’s medical needs on their own. Even the best doctor in the world has a support staff of nurses, X-ray technicians, certified nursing assistants (CNAs), and many others. For something as important as this, it is crucial to bring in professional outside help. This includes the evidence needed for your upcoming trial. Evidence Room offers all of the prep work and additional services you need to go into trial with confidence, including crime scene reconstruction.

There’s no reason to head to trial hoping, praying, and wishing for the outcome you want when our team offers so many services to help you prepare. You’ve developed your side of the argument. All that is left to do is show the judge and jury what you are telling them. A crime scene reconstruction service makes this possible! 

These reconstructions are used during a criminal case in order to aid the jury in understanding the nature of a crime and what happened on the day in question. Often the facts of the case don’t tell the whole story when told verbally, and virtually walking through the crime scene, or reconstructing the events, gives a much clearer picture of what happened. Crime scene reconstruction is time-consuming and very detailed. There are several steps needed to ensure it gets done correctly. These include:

Step #1 Conjecture

Before a detailed analysis of evidence can be made, a possible explanation, a “conjecture,” of actions involved in a crime scene is formulated. It is not a fixed explanation, but simply the beginning.

Step #2 Hypothesis formula

This isn’t just a guess! Additional accumulation of needed data is based on the examination of physical evidence and investigation. This scene examination and inspection of evidence must be done in order to lead to the formulation of a reconstruction hypothesis. 

Step #3 Testing

Remember, these reconstructions are done by scientists. They follow the scientific process. After a hypothesis has been developed, further testing must be done in order to confirm or disprove the overall interpretation or specific aspects of the original hypothesis. This stage includes comparison of samples collected at the crime scene with known standards, microscopic examinations, chemical analysis, and other testing. If the hypothesis is disproven, the team tries again with another theory.

Step #4 Formulation

The tests have finally given the team a hypothesis they feel sure about. It’s time to put this idea into an animation or other type of visual formatting that an audience can understand.

Don’t leave the verdict to chance. Bring in our team of professionals to help you make your case!
