Abstract

In criminal cases, the potential transfer of bloodstain is one possibility of discussion on Court. Therefore we developed an experimental model in which the conditions are standardized and thus reproducible. However, in this model, the transfer of blood from a first support to a second support is only possible if the bloodstain is still wet and if it is not strongly attached on the first support. In conclusion, this study defines the limiting conditions of bloodstain transfer.
