Yeah the knife wounds were fatal. I wasn't questioning that. I meant if a person is waving a gun around, a person might comply and be slow to react. If she had the knife in her other hand he may have been slower reacting to her movements to stab him.
Was only opining that a gun is very intimidating and gives even a small person the upper hand.
Given that TA had remarked to Dr. Hiatt that JA was capable of offing him, it is possible that he feared her. Who knows, she may have physically threatened him at various times. However, when it came to JA, I imagine that TA was just as concerned with her potentially disclosing their 'unorthodox' LDS dating practices to people who mattered more to him than she.
IIRC, the Hiatt remark context was characterized by the slashed tires and her other "psycho" behaviors, so I'm guessing that her blade work caused him more immediate concern at that time than a firearm -- and he was spot on, as ultimately proved to be the case.
But this is all hindsight. The murderess knows precisely how she did it. And, other than obliging us with photographic evidence, she's not telling [the truth].
