Necessary Defense or Homicide?: The Importance of Crime Scene Reconstruction in Crossbow Injuries.
American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology 2019 June 13
Reconstruction of a criminal offense is a crucial approach in forensics and criminalistics allowing for the verification of the location, the particular method used, or the use of a specific instrument.

Although the cause of death was evident from the outset, it was necessary to clarify whether or not the arrow was shot as necessary self-defense. Ballistic investigation of the seized weapon and reconstruction of the crime was absolutely essential to bring forth conclusive evidence to convict the perpetrators of the murder.
