I understand that the state’s guy is considered an expert and will have way more experience than I do, however, I do not see that as being from LG’s hand as she clutched the tree. I cannot imagine one being mortally wounded and removing their hand from the wound except maybe to defend against another incoming blow.
I wonder, if she was bleeding from her neck, and it was a mortal wound, was there a pattern of blood spray found in the area where investigators expected to find it? Eg: if she clutched the tree as she was bleeding out, then did they find blood sprayed around the area in front of where the “handprint” / “fehu” was? If not, why not? Was it just because it was outside and thus possibly harder to see / find / detect? Like if she was upright, and she grabbed the tree, I’d have expected there to be some blood in front of the handprint on the ground in the direction she was facing when she is thought to have grabbed it.
I was also wondering, did she have blood spray / drip down her neck onto her body? If not, then I guess it was cleaned up some? I do think it is possible that it was a mark that was “painted” on intentionally by someone. For whatever reason. If that was her handprint, would investigators have been able to lift a handprint from the mark? I don’t know a lot about it, so that’s a genuine question. If not, why not?
