Oops! I meant to just ask about cast off. Now why did I put "spatter" in there? You missed a great chance to call me a do-do!Goody said:Quote:Yes, you just posted definitions from a website that described the velocity in blood spatter. Remember?
According the definition of "cast off" Cast-Off Pattern -- A bloodstain pattern created when blood is released or thrown from a blood-bearing object in motion, it would seem the blood on the wall was castoff, not spatter? The blood-bearing object would be Darlie's arm(we suppose). No matter the speed, spatter is Spatter (MVIS) --A bloodstain pattern caused by a medium velocity impact/force to a blood source. A beating typically is used when something hits a blood bearing source, i.e. human being. So wouldnt the blood on the wall be cast-off or have you already said that?I don't know if it would ever be referred to in cast off but I suppose it is possible if the hammer, bat, or knife (what have you) doing the casting off was moving at speed faster than the normal movement of one's arm striking or stabbing.
Velocity refers to speed. High velocity usually refers to something that can go as fast as a speeding bullet. So it could never apply to how fast someone moves. Unless you are talking about Superman, of course.
As for the blood in the foyer, I don't think we've ever discussed that much. If it is on the wall, I would assume it got there when she went for the front door and as she swung her injured arm about. I would expect that to be low velocity.
