Crime Scene

In November, 2009 a US Army, Major went to Fort Hood, Texas and opened fire on a group of US Army soldiers.  They were planning to deploy to fight the War on Terror.  The attacker killed 13 people and injured 32 others.  One of the injured had six gunshot wounds.  Area police officers responded and took the suspect into custody.

Thirteen murder victims.  That is a large number of victims and a huge crime scene.  Treat a massive crime scene like this as both thirteen separate crime scenes and a single crime scene.  The prosecution should be able to prosecute each individual victim as a separate crime.  A smart prosecution will prosecute a few of them at a time to be able to prosecute a second time on new victims if there is some kind of procedural error that prevents a conviction.

Have thirteen separate teams and another to coordinate the overall crime scene.  Call for whatever resources you need to make sure that you have enough evidence collected to convict the suspect for every murder.  Don't assume one conviction will be enough.  Often multiple convictions are best to insure a major suspect will stay in prison for a long time, or that the suspect will get the death penalty.  Careful crime scene investigation is well worth the result; that's what the SGT Says.
