Sandra can you please provide a source for JF masturbating with the condom in the woods on the night of the murder?
Certainly, Lithium. The condom was found in the early hours of July 1st - within hours of Jodi's body being found. Forensic reports referred to its contents as "fresh" - i.e. there was no evidence of breakdown or degradation of cells. James Falconer, himself, said in his statement that it was the night of the murder that he took a stroll down behind the wall to masturbate because of the lack of privacy at home. It was James Falconer himself who said it was around 8 - 9 pm
that night. Can't really argue with the man's own words, can we?
Also how can you tell the viewers, with a clear conscience, that Falconer would have to step over the body to have a wank 50 yards away from it?
What an interesting question, Lithium. Firstly, I didn't say he'd have had to step over the body to "have a wank" - I said, "If his own account is correct, he'd have to have almost literally stepped over the body on the way down and on the way back up."
He said he went down behind the wall, did what he said he did and discarded the condom, which was found 20 yards from the body, not 50 yards. Now, here's the thing - he didn't say what the order of events was and I've never publicly stated where the condom was in proximity to the body. So he could have masturbated before reaching the body, then carried on down the woodland strip, discarding the condom westward of the body, or he could have gone past the body, masturbated and left the condom westward of the body, or he could have masturbated past the body (westward) and discarded the condom on the way back up, or finally, he could have masturbated before the body, discarded the condom then (eastward of the body) but for some reason then continued down the woodland strip before returning the way he came.
There's no point in shooting the messenger on this one - it's in his own statements.
