The actual current practice of blood spatter analysis is to the physics of blood splatters roughly what astrology is to the physics of the movement of stars and planets.
Could there be an astronomy equivalent for blood spatter analysis? In principle yes, but it doesn't exist yet.
Could the current astrology sometimes shed real light? In some cases yes, just like even an astrologer can tell you something true about where Mercury is likely to be on the sky tomorrow. But the vast majority of the claims of current experts are going to make claims a lot stronger than that.
And just like most astrologers, they will make those claims based on what they want to be true, or what they think you want to be true, not on what the evidence tells them.
