The pieces of evidence are crucial part of the case, it indicates what happened, how violent the act was and what was missing, damaged or left behind the crime scene. Many pieces of evidence do not indicate the violent and brutal assault. A single word or a single note may be perceived as a serious threat. Something One will try to defend against.

These are caused by the failure of cells to receive or utilize oxygen. The deprivation of oxygen can be partial (hypoxia) or total (anoxia). The classical signs of asphyxia are visceral congestion, petechiae, cyanosis, and fluidity of blood. These are nonspecific and can occur in deaths from other causes. Visceral congestion is due to obstructed venous return and capillovenous congestion. We can differentiate two most common hemorrhages;  petechiae are hemorrhages produced by rupture of small vessels, predominantly small venules. Rupture is caused by sudden over distention of the vessels following abrupt increases in intravascular pressure. Cyanosis death is  nonspecific and caused by an increase in the amount of reduced hemoglobin. It does not become observable until at least 5 g of reduc...
