Long time lurker here. I have a theory regarding how the attack may have happened....
If it began, as some people theorise, in the bathroom. Could Jason have awoken from sleep feeling groggy / unusual and perhaps confronted mm about suspicions of being spiked.... if (and this is just guessing) she had slipped him something and he had discovered the evidence, he would surely have stated there and then that he and his children would be leaving her. In a drunken state it may have been enough for her to launch an attack.... she may have told her daddy she was attacked to justify her actions.... to add credence to her story he would have to state he saw the attack, knowing full well she wouldn't be believed if she was the only witness to this 'attack'. Just a guess but I think it's quite plausible...
we discussed and speculated wildly about this in early threads. The discussion came about from a discussion about his stomach contents. we estimated the time it takes to convert food to chyme. We noted autopsy did not state position of chyme in the stomach, that was a time calculation exercise, we noted he had greens in his stomach and we attempted to ascertin the lack of digestive action by stomach HCL on greens, noted it would be slower, but speculated, he may have woken up from sleep, went to kitchen for some munchies, had a nibble and went back to his bedroom, whereupon a big rock was dropped on his head from a height, suggesting she was standing on something high inside the bedroom door awaiting his return. At that point we had figured injuries described on autopsy were actually crush injuries.. and we were attempting to fathom how they man have come about and his position when the first strike happened..
Suppose she hit him with bat or rock at that stage, and caused a head bleed, he went to bathroom to wipe blood away and she came after him?
Alternatively, when he went for the greens, he found her still sitting there with the bottle of rum.. still, and hours after everybody had gone to bed?
I dont know.. many possibilities.. but feeling more sure that she perpetrated almost the entire attack, father possibly gave the post-mortem injury only..
I'm veering my thoughts towards the attack having occurred up to 2 full hours prior to the 911 attack...body temp, a feeling there had been too much time to tamper with the crime scene all along as well as the expertise to do so effectively being an element.. and because we know nothing at all about TM, his role as a father, his position in the home.. the exact nature of his relationship with his family, his perceived role, his actual role, his psychiatric or work histories are also absent.
I doubt he will crack on cross examination.. he has had 2 years and 40 years work experience behind him.
I expect he has had sufficient training to lie very effectively.
But for all of that, they could all be sociopathic lunatics for all I know
