Authors

 Abstract

This study deals with the distortion of meaning in forensic medicine reports to confuse justice, by manipulating the capabilities that the language provides regarding time or place or the logical sequence or style of language, and by detecting this manipulation, such gaps and distortions can be avoided and monitored to achieve the truth, protect the innocent, and convict criminals. This study concluded that writing forensic medicine reports may be subject to distortion by investing in the capabilities of the language, which are very important and must be written in a clear and unambiguous manner, and this ambiguity usually comes through time, place, logical sequence, and language type.
