Numerous hesitation marks accompany the self-inflicted gouges to the neck by a broken bottle. Hesitation marks are not always present with self- inflicted incised wounds. Hesitation marks are usually straight sharp instrument wounds that are often found on the bodies, especially the wrists and neck area, of suicide victims. Hesitation marks tend to be of different depths as the victim experiments prior to cutting a deep enough wound to kill themselves.
