A Case of Strangulation

You are invited to attend our free CPD accredited webinar, A Case of Strangulation, exploring the interpretation and critical evaluation of forensic biology evidence in a criminal case.

Presented by Caroline Crawford, Senior Scientist and Technical Lead at Forensic Access, this case-led session will examine how blood pattern, DNA, fibre and textile evidence was interpreted, challenged and considered alongside the wider circumstances of the case.

Topics include:
• Blood pattern analysis and the interpretation of bloodstaining
• Low-level, partial and mixed DNA profiles
• Statistical evaluation and Y-STR DNA profiling
• Fibre and textile evidence assosicated with the alleged ligature
• Prosecution and defence interpretations of the forensic findings
• ​​​​​​​Alternative explanations and the importance of balanced forensic interpretation

This webinar may be particularly useful for criminal defence solicitors, barristers, legal professionals, students and others involved in criminal casework.
