Examples include:

validating the line of sight evidence of witnesses.

calculating the angle of a shot being fired and therefore the direction from which a shot was fired. If several shots were fired in a small time interval (so the shooter was more or less in the same place), the shot trajectories identify his/her location.

in the case of blunt instrument injury, calculating the angle of impact can give some indication of the relative heights of the victim and assailant.
