I'm now quoting from a post of 2011. ( Spot the mistakes )
" Quote: The re-submitted swab did have a different identifying mark,but only partially. There were 3 copies of the same submittal form for the lab. DS Davidson testified that it was a mistake on his part to write down 2 identical numbers ( DHL/33 ) and then somehow write down the incorrect number ( DHL/44 ) on the 3rd form.
He also wrote down the wrong time that the swabs had been taken ( 11am rather than 3.15pm ) another mistake on the same form.
DS Lovell.the police liason officer at the lab.,whose job it is to check the submitted paperwork with samples, also stated he made a mistake when he didn't notice that there were two different indentifying marks on the paperwork.
That's already 4 mistakes ( DS Davidson 2, DS Lovell 1 and whoever packaged swab with guns,1 ) on a solitary and pretty crucial evidence in a quintuple shooting. Unquote ".
Particles of lead,barium and antimony fused together are unlikely to remain on a shooter for long.
A huge mistake that stands out is the exhibit prefix was DRH not DHL. It is quite amusing that people who make so many errors themselves are complaining about the police making minor clerical errors. In the meantime such clerical errors don't matter at all. The person filling out the forms messe dup one of 3 by writing 44 instead of 33 and the person who received the forms didn't proofread all 3 carefully enough to notice. That's completely meaningless.
11AM is when they placed the bags over her hands. The bags over her hands wer einclude din the swab kit.
The swabs were not packaged with guns. They were in their own container. It was not a mistake to bring multiple items to the lab at the same time. The lab worker who refused to take the swabs rejected them in error.
As for the claim GSR would dissipate fast that is not the case. It is easy to transfer the GSR if one is very active after the shooting events occurred. Sheila was not active she was dead. She didn't kill herself then walk around the house touching things transferring GSR to them. GSR does not dissipate fast from clothing or hair. Moreover soot stains doesn't dissipate on their own. Elevated lead levels/lead stains on the hand from loading bullets don't just rapidly dissipate on their own either. Sheila's hands were covered with bags to prevent any loss of evidence while her body was moved. They examined the inside of the bags to make sure nothing transferred from her hands to the inside of the bags. No GSR was found. No soot was found, nor was any found on her hands or clothes. That is because she neither loaded nor fired the weapon. Jeremy shot everyone including her.
