The Christopher Vaughn case is a popular case in which ballistics and blood spatter aided in solving. Vaughn pleaded not guilty in court, and the defense stuck to the case that it was a murder-suicide case involving his wife. Paul Kish, a blood spatter expert assigned to the case, said that the evidence found at the crime scene did not correlate with Vaughn’s story. Vaughn’s blood was found in many different places; the center console, on his wife’s shorts, on the front and back of her seatbelt, and on the carpet between her shoes. Vaughn’s original statement did not mention the blood present on the seatbelt. When investigators at the crime scene unlatched and then re-latched her seatbelt, the wife’s chin was directly above the bloodstain. She was shot under the chin, therefore it was previously concluded that it must have been her blood present on the seatbelt. However, the Illinois State Police crime lab proved that it was in fact Christopher Vaughn’s blood on it. His wife’s blood was also found on the center console, but it was disturbed before it began to congeal. In addition, it appeared that some of her blood on the console was wiped towards the passenger seat from the driver’s seat. Kish concluded that someone had come into

Since the Fraternity member where there, they must have known that there was criminal hazing involved with the fraternity. Pat Smith said she had an asthma attack due to the hazing, which was recorded on her medical history. Another reason why the jury and I charged Mr. Archer with criminal hazing was because of the Dean’s letter he sent to all of the Fraternity’s and Sorority’s. Additional to that Mr. Archer’s fraternity was sent a special, personal note from the dean telling them not to haze their new Fraternity members. This shows that the Dean knows that they have committed hazing in the past. The dean also says that they have not be reported for hazing for five years. This is indicating that they have committed hazing in the
