Clarification: In one of those trials he was qualified as an expert in blood stain analysis, one in forensic identification. #Saretzky



Ok, gotta run. Will get caught up this avro, if I can.
 
Millions of copies sold, plus a major motion picture, plus a TV series...a visitor from Mars would assume cannibalism is very popular.

Hoewever, it may indicate that he knew right from wrong, and was kind of doing research, or psyching himself up, rather than gripped by impulses/an inner voice, like the infamous Greyhound bus man.

Yes, it is a sensitive subject. So are vampires, rape and child abuse but reading a fiction novel with these subjects shouldn't be sensationalized by the media, IMO, as books on cannibalism, rape, child abuse, etc. They could, however, be "research" to some. JMO.
 
This sounds like the nightmare of all home invasions! I had no idea that the attacks were so violent. Reading that Terry was asleep when he was attacked - I can't imagine the terror knowing that there was nothing he could do to protect his daughter. Seeing the bloody drag marks as Terry was dragged from his bed to the bathroom - was Derek thinking about dismembering him there? Why was Terry dragged to the bathroom?

Although the neighbour is described as dying from blunt force trauma, there was another article that described a pool of blood a metre in size. That suggested to me that she bled out, perhaps while unconscious ... but she wouldn't be bleeding if her heart wasn't beating.
 
We need the tweets for today. I see the medical examiner testified r.e. Hanne Meketech.
 
Hi Guys. I took a self imposed clean break after the Garland trial. And here I am again. I'll have to get caught up, as I've stayed away from this one but ... Here I am... Off I go to read all your excellent posts!
 
Hi JadeSleuth, I'm still haunted by the garland trial too. For that reason, not sure I have it in me to follow this case closely. I have deep sympathy for the court reporters too, it's been a very tough year for them covering cases. Sending you good thoughts!
