What conclusions about the position of a victim and an attacker can be drawn from the presence of defensive wounds on the forearms and hands of the victim? How about defensive wounds on the legs and feet?
What will be an ideal response?
Defensive wounds on the arms and hands suggest both the victim and attacker were at approximately the same level, whether that be standing, sitting, or lying down. The defensive wounds were inflicted when the victim attempted to use his or her arms and hands to protect the face or torso.
Defensive wounds on the legs and feet suggest the victim was lying or sitting and attempted to use the feet and legs to kick at the attacker or raised to protect the torso.
