As to the photos, it doesn't take an expert to see that the colourisation (is that a word?) is different on what you are calling the congealed blood ones, and the oxygenated blood one. Certainly the oxygenated blood one that we have here appears to have been manipulated in some way, even the colours in the skin tone appear to be too red. The original unmanipulated photos were presumably used in whatever submissions were made, and the argument was rejected I believe.
Bridget, this is what you posted re the suggestion photos have been manipulated. What I'd like to know is:
(1) Are you suggesting Mike Tesko has manipulated photos for viewing on this forum?
Or
(2) Are you suggesting that the defence manipulated the photos which came to light in approx 2004?
Also
(3) Are you inferring that the photos which came to light in 2004 are no different (in real terms) from the photos which were used by the prosecution at trial, i.e. there are no differences in the nature of the content re the crime scene / blood?
