About this listen
Seeing as I saw his body sinking I know there was none of his blood in the yacht’s dinghy. That dinghy wasn’t there when he sank.
But the prosecution showed the jury this impressive photo showing the reaction of luminol to something in that dinghy.
Most likely it was bleach.
But the main forensic scientist told the jury that she knew from her experience that it was reacting to blood.
I don’t have no know how in science stuff but since she signed off on a number of tests that showed there was no blood in that dinghy I can’t understand how her experience is better than the test results.
I get that the police had this theory that the woman they charged put the body in the dinghy but I didn’t know you could just make stuff up.
It’s neat to know that it’s OK to invent it. Maybe I’ll do that too in future.
