Part 2 of the review Back to the Future is dedicated to the evolutionary role of the bio-medicolegal sciences, reporting the historical profiles, the state of the art, and prospects for future development of the main related techniques and methods of the ancillary disciplines that have risen to the role of autonomous sciences, namely, Genetics and Genomics, Toxicology, Radiology, and Imaging, involved in historic synergy in the post-mortem assessment, together with the mother discipline Legal Medicine, by way of its primary fundament, universally denominated as Forensic Pathology. The evolution of the scientific research and the increased accuracy of the various disciplines will be oriented towards the elaboration of an algorithm, able to weigh the value of evidence placed at the disposal of the justice system as real truth and proof.
