Forensic Testing – Weapons

 
This series contains photos of experiments (reenactments) conducted for the 2000 trial defense (Cuyahoga County Prosecutor). The reenactments were conducted by C. Owen Lovejoy, Ph. D. Dr. Lovejoy has taught at Kent State University, Case Western Reserve University, and NEOUCOM covering topics of anatomy, biological anthropology, and medicine. Dr. Lovejoy has also served as a Technical Advisor in Biological Anthropology for the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office.

Dr. Lovejoy concluded that Marilyn Sheppard suffered blunt trauma from blows delivered with great force. Dr. Lovejoy estimated the weapon to have a mass between that of a flashlight and an adjustable wrench. Dr. Lovejoy also found some evidence that suggests the weapon had a sharp or rigid characteristic.
