Lors d'un repas entre juristes où je tenais le rôle d'accompagnant, la conversation volait d'un sujet brulant à un autre, toujours sur l'actualité juridique, qu'elle soit internationale, nationale, locale ou même personnelle.Et moi, j'écoutais attentivement ces dames (l'autre homme de la soirée était le maitre de maison et préparait le repas en cuisine). Ces sujets [...]
This study sought to determine
if colorimetry or reflectance spectrophotometry could be employed to objectively estimate the age of bruises. Based on a previously
described method, reflectance spectrophotometric scans were obtained from bruises using a Cary 100 Bio spectrophotometer fitted
with a fibre-optic reflectance probe. Measurements were taken from the bruise and a control area. Software was used to calculate
the first derivative at 490 and 480 nm; the proportion of oxygenated hemoglobin was calculated using an isobestic point method
and a software application converted the scan data into colorimetry data. In addition, data on factors that might be associated
with the determination of the age of a bruise: subject age, subject sex, degree of trauma, bruise size, skin color...
Abstract Species identification techniques commonly utilized in Australian Forensic Science laboratories are gel immunodifussion antigen
antibody reactions and hair comparison analysis. Both of these techniques have significant limitations and should be considered
indicative opinion based tests. The Barcode of Life Initiative aims to sequence a section of DNA (~648 base pairs) for the
Cytochrome Oxidase I mitochondrial gene (COI) in all living species on Earth, with the data generated being uploaded to the
Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) which can then be used for species identification. The COI gene therefore offers forensics
scientists an opportunity to use the marker to analyze unknown samples and compare sequences generated in BOLD. Once sequences
from enough species a...

J'ai longuement hésité avant de me risquer sur le sujet brulant du Réseau Privé Virtuel des Avocats (RPVA), surtout sous la forme d'un billet de blog, là où il faudrait sans aucun doute une étude beaucoup plus poussée. D'ailleurs, j'attends avec impatience la publication sur le sujet du rapport de mon confrère Nathan Hattab, expert près la Cour d'appel de Paris et près les Cours Administratives
Abstract Here we present methods for distinguishing tail hairs of African elephants (Loxodonta africana), Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), and giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) from forensic contexts. Such hairs are commonly used to manufacture jewelry artifacts that are often sold illegally in the
international wildlife trade. Tail hairs from these three species are easily confused macroscopically, and morphological methods
for distinguishing African and Asian tail hairs have not been published. We used cross section analysis and light microscopy
to analyze the tail hair morphology of 18 individual African elephants, 18 Asian elephants, and 40 giraffes. We found that
cross-sectional shape, pigment placement, and pigment density are useful morphological features for distin...
Le service militaire était l'occasion pour les jeunes appelés de s'exercer au tir. Enfin quand je dis s'exercer, je n'ai eu droit qu'à trois balles lors d'une unique séance de tir. Le coût sans doute, mais surtout la peur (justifiée) qu'avait l'encadrement de ces séances.
Nous avions répété moultes fois le maniement des armes, le MAS 49 (démontage, nettoyage, graissage, remontage) et le FA-MAS.
