Using of 3d motion analysis for forensic purposes

The paper presents an example of a successful use of 3D motion analysis for forensic purposes, and tries to show the cases in which this analysis is helpful and offers opportunities to law enforcement agents. In the present case of a shotgun hunter a fundamental question was asked - was there someone else or did it by himself? There were no witnesses, cameras, or other sources of information, and so thorough analysis could actually be the only guide for investigators. Above all, in conjunction with information from the autopsy protocol, it was possible to find the weapon in relation to the body at the moment of the shot by means of 3D analysis in the given field conditions. This meant that space for another person was determined and, with regard to its location and size, it was possible to decide on the possibility of its presence.
