Could that be the spatter on the carpet and duvet? I've been wondering how what seems to be watered-down spatter got there. OP says he went and put his legs on that were on that side but hadn't washed up at that point but I thought the blood there had a light, watery look to it.
Something else occurred to me, when OP was going through his gyrations about bringing in the fans and putting them where the duvet cover was found, wonder why Nel didn't nail him that if he actually had put them at the end of the bed, he'd have to be facing the room and couldn't have missed seeing Reeva either getting up or at least not in bed? No way he could have his back to the room if he was putting the fans at the corner of the bed.
We should be careful in not pursuing specious analysis/reasoning… let me elaborate
I agree that the holster being found behind the left-hand side nightstand does not conform to OP's version of events.
We have 2 options :
1. OP is telling the truth about what happened AND we are missing some explanation as to how the holster ended up there
2. OP has fabricated his version of events
If one subscribes to option 2, it makes little sense to analyze/reason how the holster ended up there based on OP's version because too many elements in the fabricated version never happened…
… Who knows where OP slept or even if he went to bed… Who knows where the gun was… Who knows when, why and in what circumstances he grabbed his gun
If one subscribes to option 1, even if one considers that the details about the holster's location was an innocent omission, OP's version would have provided the elements for an obvious and reasonable inferred explanation as to how and why the holster ended up where it did…
… But from his own account, one would expect the holster to be found on the floor near the bed in plain view, not behind the bedside table.
The switching of sides because of shoulder injury could simply be a fabrication whose purpose was to explain where the holster was found and not the other way round…
Considering OP's version is a fabrication, what possible benefits would OP reap by alleging that he switched sides with Reeva ?
Keeping the habitual sides would make a lot more sense considering the objective evidence :
- All of OP's 'junk' on the right
- Reeva's bag and flip-flops on the left
- Easier for Reeva to get out of bed to go to the bathroom from the left side of the bed
- OP's prosthetics located on the right, next to where he slept
- OP's t-shirt located on the right, next to where he slept
… the ONLY thing that does not fit is the holster located on the left !!!
