But again, it can't be proven he did it. If her hands were swollen then, they would have still looked swollen when the coroner arrived and that would have been noted. When Mayer mentions the cord as he is doing the autopsy he makes no note of any swelling or mark at all. And he would have to note it because this is something he actually SEES, and not his opinion about it (as would be the case in his mentioning of what may have caused the blood in the vagina. He must note the blood, but would not be able to say for sure what caused it).
I have never seen where Arndt says she stopped him from untying the wrist cords.
I'm thinking that it's possible that if you struggled with something tied tightly around your wrist this could cause swelling. Would this type of swelling persist if the person subsequently died and therefore ceased to struggle? The autopsy was conducted on the morning of the 27th, so that is between 24 and 36 hours after her death. That's quite a while for any superficial swelling to subside.
