Jean— ..............I got “minutes” from some blood I saw four of five years ago on my wooden floor between my bathroom and the room where I work. I didn’t know how it got there until I sat down in front of my keyboard and noticed blood trickling down the lower part of my leg. I still don’t know exactly when or how I cut myself but it was less than five minutes from the time I noticed the blood to the time I saw where it came from. I stepped in it before I realized it was there, so it didn’t leave any of the blood drop characteristics I was interested in with respect to the blood drops on Rockingham. ...............The most important thing to me back then was the personal confirmation I hadn’t had in years that you could cut yourself without knowing when or how you did it. I don’t believe I thought about the drying time of the blood on the floor until I tried to wipe it up it up with a wad of toilet paper. Stepping in the blood, which must have trickled from my leg, had the effect of flattening it out the way a blood drop would flatten out when it hit a hard surface. I had to wet the paper and give the stain it a little scrub to get it all up. There is no way to get more than “minutes” of drying time out of that sequence and no way I can see that I would have gotten blood on my foot again if I stepped in it again just before I cleaned it up. . ............ In any event, all but two of the Rockingham blood drops (two of the three on the driveway straddling the gate line) were off to the side of pedestrian traffic. The wheels of the limo would have rolled through the space between them. ............ The idea that every Rockingham blood drop was planted works against O.J., who said he had a small cut before he went to the airport. It takes away the blood drops from a small cut without EDTA that match what he said about walking his dog and going back and forth between the Bronco and his front door an hour later. These were the blood drops that Fung chose to collect without knowing what they meant. They tell O.J.’s story of what he did between 10:03 and 11:10. They represent physical evidence combined with circumstantial evidence that he could not have gone to Bundy and returned when and how the prosecutors or the plaintiffs’ attorneys said he did. ............ It could not have been the intention of the Rockingham blood planters to convince anyone that O.J. left a blood trail between the Bronco and his front door. If the idea of planting SOME blood drops on Rockingham along with the false idea of other “blood drops” was to get O.J.’s defenders to attribute ALL of the blood drops to planting AFTER the murders, it worked brilliantly. --Jasper
