He said it could of - but more than likely not - HOWEVER - he said it COULD of yes - trickled in - meaning it was a possibility - i.e not impossible -
A bit like the mixture of bloods - possibility - not impossible -
What part of that don't you understand .
resorting to rude insults is a sign of ignorance in my book.
1) saying something is unlikely is fatal. You need an expert to testify there is a reasonable likelihood of something happening to establish reasonable doubt.
2) There is a big difference from saying it is possible blood can trickle in the moderator (which now seems to be what you are suggesting he said) as opposed to saying it is possible for blood to trickle in and coat the first 8 baffles so that it could result in the blood found by the lab and by him.
The difference is that the former is worthless because it doesn't speak to the issue at hand. The issue at hand is whether there is a way to suggest the blood found on the baffles got there by some method other than drawback. Whether a small amount of blood can somehow get into the moderator is meaningless to the question of whether it is possible for blood to get inside and be distributed in the manner found by the labs. So the key question is did he specifically assess the blood he and the lab found could have been distributed inside by trickling in and if so in what manner is he suggesting such could have happened or did he just mention that some limited amount of blood can trickle in somehow?
The answer doesn't matter that much since he said it was unlikely but if one wants to suggest it is even possible they need to have a solid claim it is possible for blood to be distributed in such manner by something other than drawback and credible explanation with some evidence of how that could happen.
If the moderator is horizontal blood is not going inside unless forced in and unless the force is strong it will just go inside the opening, not go deep inside. If vertical and blood is dripped inside it will go down the central channel until striking the end or striking a baffle. It is not going to coat each baffle in succession. Only a spray could result in the first 8 baffles getting blood on them.
When held vertically the baffles essentially act like shelves that are all in a column. If blood leaks off shelf 1 where will it go? Is it going to fall on shelf 2? No because shelf 2 is the same size not longer. The notion the blood will leak from shelf to shelf is absurd. If it leaves the shelf it will fall down past many other shelves

If held horizontal the blood is not getting in at all unless projected by some force. Even if a dropper were stuck inside and then blood released it would simply fall down to the bottom wall of the moderator. Only a spray could result in blood getting on the upper baffles let alone 8 baffles in a row.
