Forensic neuropathology delves into contentious issues such as the consequences of repetitive brain trauma in football players and the notion that infants cannot perish from shaken baby syndrome. Jan Leestma, a renowned expert in this field, has authored the third edition of Forensic Neuropathology, a comprehensive reference that provides an exhaustive exploration of neuropathological conditions with forensic significance. This edition reflects the latest research, with expanded sections on multiple trauma, one punch/one hit arterial injuries, and the physiology of respiratory control. It offers fresh insights and guidelines on expert testimony and evidence admissibility, influenced by landmark cases such as Daubert and related Supreme Court decisions. The book examines the impact of these rulings on forensic pathologists, neuropathologists, and other potential experts, as well as their interactions with the legal system. Several chapters delve into the mechanisms and pathophysiology of neuropathological conditions, while also discussing the biomechanical basis for neurological injury. Where applicable, aging and dating methodologies are included to facilitate accurate assessments. Over 325 updated full-color illustrations, diagrams, tables, and figures accompany the text, serving as valuable exhibits in court. An extensive bibliography offers further background information and facilitates further research.
