The encyclopedia article on Paul L. Kirk, the American criminalist whose bloodstain-pattern analysis contributed to Sam Sheppard's acquittal at retrial. Corrects a dead-link defect: the atlas's existing wikipedia-paul-kirk source points at a Wikipedia disambiguation page rather than this dedicated biography.
