Jefferson’s absurd last stand. 
How 3D laser scanning assisted in the reconstruction of a showdown

 

Case study: Brazil Federal Police uses Leica RTC360
to deliver evidence-based conclusions
for the charges against a corrupt politician

 

Many crimes need painstaking detective work to find even a single lead. Not this one: a violent crime committed in broad daylight with numerous witnesses.

So why did the Brazilian Federal Crime Investigation unit need to show up with the latest state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning devices to meticulously document the trajectories and origins of more than 50 shots fired?

And why did they need to film grenades exploding with high-speed cameras?

To answer that, we spoke with Bruno Costa Pitanga Maia, Federal Crime Expert of the Instituto Nacional de Criminalística (INC), who puts the story in context and explains the role of a forensic digital twin in criminal investigation.
