Staging. Staging
is frequently noted in the planned murder. Death may be staged to look
accidental (a car malfunction or drowning, for example). Other deaths may
appear due to secondary criminal activity, such as robbery or rape. The
offender who stages a domestic rape-murder rarely leaves the victim nude; she is
almost always partially clothed. Death may be staged to look like suicide, with a suicide
note, guns rigged with string, or a drug over- dose, for example. Natural
causes—slow poisoning or overdose (insulin is a prime example of an overdose
that can mimic natural death)—are also examples of staging.
