Portrait examination.

Tasks.

Forensic portrait examination consists in the study of photographs and other objective displays appearance person in order to identify the identity of the persons depicted on them.

Expert identification based on subjective portraits, as well as skull reconstructions, is not performed, since they are based on a mental image of a person's appearance. An objective assessment of the imprinted signs of appearance in the memory of an eyewitness, as a rule, is impossible. Therefore, this type of portrait image is used only in conditions of operational identification.

Expert identification is not carried out using portrait images of a person made by an artist (painter, graphic artist, sculptor). When creating them, the artist usually does not take into account the small features of the structure of a person’s face, which are not essential for the formation of the image of the person being portrayed, but are used as individualizing ones in expert identification (for example, signs of the structure of the elements of the auricle, etc.).

Notes.

For expert identification it is necessary to send photographs (negatives) - originals. In their absence, copies of these mappings are sent. It is desirable to send images of people of approximately the same age to be compared for the study. The production time of the photographs to be compared must be known. The photographs of the compared faces must be taken in the same or close angle, in approximately the same lighting conditions.

It is desirable that the photographs be normal in contrast, displaying all the small features of the face - wrinkles, folds, birthmarks etc., devoid of defects that make it difficult to perceive and analyze the signs of appearance. If traces of retouching are visible on the photograph (or this is known from the circumstances of production), it is advisable to obtain the negative from which this photograph was printed and send it to the expert along with the photograph.

Photos on reverse side inscribed, certified by the signature of the investigator and the seal of the institution. Photographic films, casts and other objects are packed in boxes, bundles, packages and are certified by the inscription on the package.

Questions solved by portrait examination.

  1. Are the same or different faces in the photographs?
  1. One or different people belong to the parts of the head, face, body depicted in the presented photographs?
  1. Are the same or different faces depicted on film or video frames?
  1. Are the same or different faces depicted in photographs of a living person and a corpse?

When researching:

An object with traces similar to blood, and blood samples (in dried or liquid form without a preservative in an amount of at least 5 ml) of the victims and other persons involved in the case, are submitted for examination for blood,

Discharge presents objects with traces similar to discharge, and samples of blood and saliva (in liquid or dried form);

4. What type and type (model) of firearms is this part (magazine, bolt, revolver drum axle, pistol grip cheek, trigger, etc.)?

5. Is the part presented for research a part of this weapon?

When resolving this issue, it is necessary to take into account the number on the part, traces of it on other parts of the weapon, and vice versa. If only a part of the detail is examined, and another part of it has been preserved in the alleged weapon, then the question is reduced to establishing the whole from the part.

6. Could a shot have been fired from this weapon without pressing trigger under certain circumstances (for example, as a result of a weapon falling on the floor)?

7. Is it possible to shoot from this weapon with cartridges determined by

divided caliber?

called for the last shot from this weapon?

12. Has the last shot been fired from this shotgun?

th gun with a bullet?

This can be established, for example, in cases where bullets are fired from choke-drilled barrels. Signs can be lead strips that draw the leading edges of the bullet on the walls of the bore. They can be observed from the side of the muzzle.

13. How long has it been since the last shot?

14. Is this item a weapon?

15. What is the cause of a shotgun barrel rupture?

To do this, the expert must present the gun, samples of the cartridges used for shooting, and objects that, according to the assumption, were in the barrel before the shot.

16. Was this cover (holster) used to store the weapons submitted for research?


This issue can be resolved in some cases, when the signs of a certain weapon are sufficiently fully displayed on the internal surfaces of the case in the form of scuffs, dents, dirt, traces of metallization, oil, etc.

(shot, buckshot)?
