How is crime-scene reconstruction used in CSI?

It really is an effort at developing a timeline, from the time the crime was initiated until the perpetrator left the crime scene, and what took place during that interval. Many skills are brought to observe in reconstructing a crime scene. You have the pathologist or the medical examiner. You have the police investigators who have questioned eye witnesses. You have the forensic scientists who've looked at items of physical evidence that have been collected at the scene. All of these skills are brought to bear to make an effort at determining a timeline, what occurred at the very beginnings of the scene and what occurred at the termination of the crime scene, or of the crime. That is what crime scene reconstruction is all about.
