This series of panels was a collaboration between Miranda MacAskill, Roxanne Ziman and myself in consultation with Prof. Lax. We aimed to develop a series of demonstrative evidence panels for pretrial or courtroom use in a criminal case, explaining complex anatomic and medical concepts while satisfying all legal admissibility criteria. Forensic case material was generously provided by Dr. Ian Paul of the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
