Blood Stain Analysis: Paulette Sutton's Speech Methods
Blood Stain Analysis
On April 18, 2013 at 6:30pm, in ballroom 250 at the Student Union Building; I went to one amazing, interesting speech on Blood Stain Analysis. Paulette Sutton is from Memphis, Tn. She is one of the best forensic investigators, which is first called to observe a blood scene. As for her job is to go to a murder scene and investigate how a murder, homicide, or even a fight occurred according to how the blood splattered, or dripped.
For someone who just investigated blood and how the blood spattered or drips, she is actually a great speaker. After she’s done with her investigation, she is to report it to the investigator; on how the crime occurred. When the investigation is done, she with all the other investigators is to appear in court. Since Sutton speaks in court, she gained great experience on speaking to the audience very well. Throughout Sutton speech, she maintained a very well organized presentation. She managed to start off by introducing herself, and her job. Second, gave us some murder cases. Thirds, took us through her investigation thoughts and everything she said. Throughout the presentation, Sutton managed to adapt to the audience because of the language used.

Throughout her presentation, she knew what she was talking about. She didn’t really have to look on the power-point or any cards to read off of. She managed to have a lot of eye contact with the audience on both side and went to both side of the stage. With the eye contact, Sutton used a lot of hand gestures, by pointing at the power-point, or an example is when she explained the blood drops she used her hands. Another example is the crime which someone was killed on the top floor, but blood was dripping downstairs and splatting on the side of the wall. She used her hands by taking them up and dropping them with the blood. Therefore, Sutton was very easy to understand, with a great tone of

    When investigating a crime scene, many different variables are taken into account such as fingerprints, any other forms of DNA, or even clues left behind at a crime scene. Even looking at blood splatter, the forensic technician can conclude an estimated guess to the weapon used, the height of the person, whether it was foul play or not, and even if it was passive patterns or projected patterns. Blood splatter analysis becomes important when recreating a crime scene (Peschel). Bloodstain pattern analysis comes into play; and that is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed (“A Simplified Guide”).…

    Malcolm Gladwell used a great deal of hand gestures. For the most part I enjoyed them as he transitioned from one thing to the next. This made it more exciting and kept my attention. He was describing an important concept of school shootings. I liked his gestures when trying to portray the size or timeline of shootings comparing it to that of Columbine. It showed how one incident happened right after another following a similar script.…

    According to ‘Victorian institute of forensic medicine (Unknown)’, the role of the forensic pathologist is to assist the coroners, the police and courts to resolve any medical issues deemed critical. This includes causes of death, the circumstances on how the victim had died and how the injuries were caused. The pathologist focuses their work on deceased people. The examination of a dead body focuses on review of medical histories, external examination and CT scans. Sometimes internal examinations are performed to help determine a cause of death. The pathologist can be helped in a wide range of forensic science services such as toxicology, DNA testing and microbiology. In a larger view the pathologist’s role is focused on public health.…

    Bloodstain pattern analysis is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. Blood spatter analysis can tell the distance from the source of the blood to the pattern, the direction from which the blood impacted, the speed the droplet was traveling, the location of the point of origin, and even the movement of a bleeding individual throughout the scene. There are three basic types of bloodstains. The first type of bloodstains are passive stains which include drops, flows, and pools.…

    Pamela Meyer begins her talk by saying ““I don't want to alarm anybody in this room, but it's just come to my attention that the person to your right is a liar. the crowd laughs but then she says “ Also the person to your left is a liar”. This automatically gets the audience involved in her talk and is a great opening to her topic. Meyer uses her own personal examples to back up her talk as well. For example she is talking about how she wrote a book called “Liespotting” and she says “no one wants to meet me in person anymore, no, no, no, no, no. They…

    To demonstrate effective communicational skills one must use one to one interaction for example to communicate. This was done through acting skills such as hand gestures that can be used as a stimulus or signal to the other person to listen or to calm down. For example if two people are conversing and one is speaking in a loud aggressive tone, the other person can use hand gestures to make them calm and quieter. Furthermore to use interactive skills a person can use hand gestures once again to cater to the person’s emotional needs. An example of this in a health and social care setting can be, when a doctor is giving news to a family member that their spouse has passes away, using a pat on the pact can show emotive interaction to show respect of sympathy towards the patient.…

    Since the creation of religion, there has always been a debate to whether or not religion is the main cause of conflicts throughout history. In Karen Armstrong’s book “Fields of Blood”, she argues that people use religion as an excuse for the cause of wars and ignore all other aspects. Karen Armstrong is correct. Throughout history, there were many wars and conflicts that weren’t caused by religion yet many leaders used the blame of religion to their advantage to conceal their true intentions. Wars using religion as a cover up for power is shown in the expansion of the Islamic Empire and in ISIS, while motivation from religion opposes Armstrong’s idea.…

    Analyzing Blood

    Analyzing blood is the worst part of the job to me. It is one the main reasons why I might not pursue this specific career in Criminal Justice. I can’t deal with blood because it affects me mentally. I can talk about it, but the sight may make me nauseous or I could faint, especially if it’s a large amount (pool stains). I could sit and watch the most gruesome horror movie and eat dinner while watching it. However, I do feel I may get over that hump like if I talk about it more and the repetitive experience through the job. I searched around the web and found a few interesting facts about blood splatter analysis. I also found a video explaining blood splatter and its relation to the murder case involving a hammer in Arizona. I will post the…

    The play In the Blood is an adaptation by Suzan-Lori Parks of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. In this play is about a single black woman, Hester, who is a mother to five fatherless children trying to survive living in poverty and dealing with her reputation as a slut. The name and plotline seemed very intriguing from the start, and being a fan of Hawthorne’s work, I was looking forward seeing to play.…

    Another thing that affected her speech presentation was that she was very quiet and it was difficult to hear her. It did not seem like she was very passionate about her topic because she stayed at one level with her tone and her dynamics throughout the speech did not seem to change. In other words, she could have used more vocal variety and projection.…
