Design notes : A great deal can be gleaned from the shape of blood spots and splashes found on surfaces such as floor, walls, ceiling, woodwork and furniture. The French physician and criminologist Alexandre Lacassagne noted the correlation between the shape of blood spots and the position of the victim. Blood dropping vertically on to a flat surface form a circular mark with crenated edges, and denotes that the source was stationary at the time. Drops of blood falling from a moving object hit a flat surface obliquely and leave a spot shaped like an exclamation mark. An examination of the shape of obliquely falling blood splashes yields information about the direction and speed of impact. Such evidence helps determine the positions of victim and murderer at the time of an assault, and may also indicate the manner of violence and type of weapon used.

A line of blood spots on the ceiling of a room in which violent murder has been committed is likely to have been made by the killer wielding an axe or bludgeon in an area over his head. Smears and trails on the floor may be produced by a wounded person crawling about or by an assailant dragging the body of his injured victim. Smudges and smears on furniture and doorsteps leaving bloody fingerprints or palm prints may result from similar activities. Blood smears tend to start as drops which become ragged at one edge, indicating the direction of travel.
