A) So did June, but we can see evident transfers of blood.
B) Could we say the same with Sheila's nightdress then?
C) So June was shot and Nevill did not reach over to June to offer protection or love her, he simply got a shoulder shot and left the bed. Fig. 5 and 6 also show a slightly downward shot, thus meaning the killer was higher than Nevill. Any wounds to head or mouth and it will bleed profusely, surely?
D) They saved the pillow slips, not 100% sure they did not save the sheet.
E) Hammersley took a scraping of blood some 15/18 inches from the outside of Sheila's bedroom, but we do not know the results of that blood sample, I suspect it to belong to Nevill.
F) I don't buy that Scip, she was clearly not on her way out, she was facing her killer at the bottom of the bed and already using the bottom of the bed to keep her balance, she then fell back after another shot into the door, transfered blood onto the door and slipped further into the position she was found.
A) June was lying down in bed while she was bleeding. She had 4-6 entrance wounds while in bed and 3 exit wounds and was bleeding directly against the bedding.
Nevill had a shot to his lip, shot to his jaw and shot to his shoulder. The 4th shot was a graze wound so not one likely to spill blood. He was not lying against the bed when shot and none of these were in a location that would come in contact with the bed after he was shot. It would take a while before blood would drip down his face and fall off his face onto the floor and if seated it would fall in his lap. There could have been high velocity impact back spatter on bedding but since it is fine very little would show up in photos and you need a very good closeup to see any of it. You would even need a good closeup to see a static drop. The only blood seen in the photos of June's side is where bloody wounds came into direct contact with the bedding. By the time June stood up she had 6 entrance wounds and 3 exit wounds so 9 different wounds to bleed from. The blood went down her gown and also on the floor. Nevill's clothing didn't exhibit such his 3 wounds resulted in a lot of blood being internal. he did drop a little in the hall though and when his bloody arm actually came into contact with the wall it left blood at that point.
B) Because of the nature and location of her wounds, had she stood up then blood would have dripped down her gown like happened to June. That would be evident in the photos. Medium velocity impact spatter from beating Nevill would also be seen. The photos are not good enough for us to be able to see high velocity backspatter though. We are stuck exclusively with the examination done by the lab with respect to such issue the photo is of no value in evaluating such. The lab of course said there was no backspatter (medium or high velocity) from any victims just her own blood was on her gown.
C) Shortly after being shot his mouth and throat were full of blood. If Nevill tried talking then blood would be leaking out of his mouth. If he kept his mouth closed the blood would mostly stay inside. He must not have been opening his mouth too much because blood wasn't all over his chest to the extent one would expect had he been trying to talk. My guess is that when his face was beaten blood was getting on his attacker. It only takes seconds to get out of bed so he was up before his mouth was full though. His idea of defense was to get out of bed and try to get the attacker. By the time he rose the gun was empty and that made it easier to charge the killer. The killer likely fled the room upon the gun being empty. There is no damage indicating a struggle took place in the bedroom. The killer likely fled to the kitchen to reload and Nevill decided to try to prevent that.
D) They saved the pillows because the bullets were embedded in them. They burned the sheets etc so there was never any lab examination to see if there was spatter or other blood on it. They just have the photos of the blood stains made by June's bloody wounds coming into direct contact with the bed. This is one of the things that shows they had little intention of examining things more thoroughly and were content with blaming Sheila. To destroy the bedding so quick means that even though their theory was just supposed to be a theory and they were supposed to be entertaining all options they didn't really entertain all options and pretty much already decided to take a particular course and close off investigating others.
E) There was a drop of blood right outside the master bedroom door (DRH/47) This obviously was either dripped there by Nevill or leaked off the killer. Nevill is the only victim who managed to leave the room he had initially been shot in so he is the only possible contributor aside from the killer getting splashed with some victim blood and then it dripping off. High Velocity backspatter though usually won't deposit so much blood that it would then drip off the killer leaving a static drop. The killer woudl have had a lot of blood after the kitchen fight and could have dripped Nevill's blood after going back upstairs though. It could have been dripped near the master bedroom and then Sheila's room as the killer was going to get Sheila. So it could have been dripped by Nevill or the killer there is no way to know for sure.
F) The shot delivered between her eyes was delivered while she was on the floor and this is the shot that sent spatter to the door
