About This Book

The author assembles a second series of one hundred judicial autopsy reports, each performed and elucidated with medical findings and legal commentary. Alongside case narratives, the work supplies scientific assessments, comparative and critical notes on contemporaneous criminal-law provisions, appended corollaries, and a comprehensive index to facilitate cross-referencing. It considers how recent procedural reforms affect expert reporting while arguing for continued thoroughness, since multiple causes and subtle traces can be decisive. Numerous cases illustrate identification and causation challenges—hair, eye, dental markings, tattoos, poisons—and highlight practical implications for medico-legal examination and documentation.
