During this hour-long webinar Dr Johnson will discuss the persistence of biological DNA; the use of alternative light sources for probative evidence; the color phases of bruising; and strangulation injures. She will discuss why the alleged suspect’s body may be a better source of probative evidence than the victims. In addition, she will detail the correct forensic documentation standards for patients with blunt injuries, incised injuries, abrasions, contusions and bruises from inflicted trauma.
