I mean this respectfully and Im just posting off of your post since you mentioned it but I truly dont understand the opinions held of the shot coming first. Is it because some believe the woman on trial that has told a thousand lies with a straight face? Is that who some are believing? :waitasec:
What is the reason that the ME is not believed? Or do some seem to think he is inept and unable to do his duties properly even though he has been a ME for 20 years?
For me he was crystal clear when he said that the head shot came last and even gave overwhelming findings to support it. He said it would go through his temporal lobe of his brain.
If she had already slit his throat from ear to ear severing all arteries where the large amount of blood is he would have bled out profusely when that happened and quickly. Dr. Horn said he would die shortly after the slitting of the throat. There would be no blood pumping to the brain and head when he was shot last. By the time after his throat was slit (leaving him almost decapitated) he would have no blood pressure to pump the blood to the brain which supports why very little blood was found around the gunshot.
Maybe I just dont understand the theory of him being shot in the head first or what the evidence was that has been entered in trial that supports this theory.:waitasec:
Does anyone really believe that Jodi Arias is a humane murderer based upon all the evidence that has been entered to the contrary?
You know I will play 'you know who' advocate:
The lead investigator who knows every morsel of the case thinks she was shot first.
The ME's opinion was kind of ambiguous as to if the bullet hit the brain for sure.
How much blood would come from a wound from above eyebrow, thru sinus/nose/eye and lodging into the jaw? IMO is might be just the amount that was sprayed at the sink... but not sure. There might not be so much blood from that wound anyway IMO.
You have a pic of him staring into blank space straight at the camera.
Next pic is him slumped/sitting down. Water is running, maybe not too much blood yet, and we can't see his face. I see no reason for him to be slumped down. If he was stabbed in the heart, I believe we would see the blood. Maybe we might not see the head shot. The detective even ask her... you were taking pics, what happened? In the final crime scene pics- he doesn't have blood all over him... I think she maybe left the water on for a bit.
Next pic is the ceiling shot.
Next pic is her shoe/him. Could that blood be from just a head wound? I don't know... it looks like alot to me. Could be after stabbings/neck wound... or just head shot. I don't know... but I don't think it's certain.
It doesn't have anything to do with being a humane murderer:
Look at it from my point of view (48 yr old married male)
I believe she had both weapons handy... like in her purse.
If she caught him sleeping at any time she would use the knife to be quiet.
It is extremely difficult to count on a stab to the heart disabling a grown man immediately IMO. What if she missed the heart?
I think if I asked 100 women around 30 yrs old (most
not psycho tho)
if they had a gun and knife handy and HAD to kill an awake but mostly unsuspecting grown man...
**** Which would you use???
Almost all would say a gun IMO. The guy is mostly awake, stronger, and even wounded by a knife unless struck perfectly would put up a hell of a fight IMO. A shot to the head 'should' be most effective. Unless the target moved a bit.
If he turns/flinches/kicks/lunges/punches/drops I just don't know if a knife stab is going to get it done. It looks more to me that she aimed the gun at his head and shot in the shower... he ducked and turned slightly to the lower-left causing the trajectory that didn't send the bullet straight thru his forehead. If you can't finish someone off with the gun you just used (jam maybe?) you would have to use a knife. If someone is stabbed 29 times with their neck cut... do you need to shoot them? If you don't shoot them... nobody knows you have your gparents gun.
I don't think it is so clear cut... but if I had to vote right now I would say shot first. But, but, but, like we have said every time... that isn't really the issue to alot of us. She is guilty... she came prepared. Just discussing.
