Abstract:
Objective To explore the characteristics of incorrect opinions in re-examination cases,analyze the reasons,characteristics,and commonalities of different forensic opinions in the same injury case during re-examination,and provide references for similar case acceptance,forensic procedures,analysis and argumentation,and the application of relevant provisions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the re-examination cases of human injury degree accepted by the Forensic Judicial Appraisal Center of Guizhou Medical University and West China Forensic Medical Appraisal Center of Sichuan University from January 2020 to December 2024.Results Among the 81 collected re-examination cases of human injury degree,the injury types mainly included fractures,soft tissue injuries,tendon injuries,craniocerebral injuries,nerve injuries,joint injuries,and organ injuries.Of these,74 cases were entrusted by the public security system,and 72 cases used primary injuries as the basis for assessment.Seven cases had more than 3 appraisals and 74 cases had two appraisals,of which 53 cases had inconsistent opinions between the previous and current appraisals,including 29 cases with an upgraded injury grade and 24 cases with a downgraded injury grade.Conclusion When accepting re-examination cases,forensic experts need to choose relevant objective examination techniques in forensic clinical medicine,such as clinical imaging techniques,to determine whether imaging data serves as key evidence in the case,and seek assistance from experts in related fields when necessary.In the case acceptance stage,it is necessary to collect and review key assessment materials such as medical records,the first assessment opinion,and interrogation records.Forensic experts should also enhance their understanding of legal provisions,timing of assessment,their image-reading ability,and work to standardize the forensic assessment process.
