Sheila's neck wound and the blood on her arm

[Roch]

It's such a pity we can't see the underside of those trails of blood? If he says that, how does he disagree with me?

I interpreted your post as meaning that the spots of blood on her arm were where the blood had dripped from her neck wound.

Yes, and how does that differ much from this?

He favours blood from her neck wound falling upon the underside of her wrist and then branching off in to four separate streams; three of which end in a coagulation that travels no further. 

It could have been one drip or more than one drip. I think there's too much blood to be from one drip.

Because in one instance, the 'dots' are where the blood has landed from the neck - and in the other instance they are the opposite - i.e. they are at the end of the runs (and the blood from the neck has fell on the underside of her wrist).

I think Vanesiz is suggesting the blood ran down her arm from her wrist, rather than blood dripping as such.

Oh I see. I've said before that I don't know if the darker spots are where the trails started or where they ended. I'm inclined to think it's where they ended. Does it matter that much?

How did he think the blood got on her wrist in the first place?

You've kind of answered your own question with your next post.

I'm afraid you'll have to explain that.

She held her wrist to the first wound momentarily.

She could have, but does that mean that she didn't shoot herself? You wouldn't put your wrist to such a wound anyway.

I think you'll get a different answer to that question depending on who you ask.

Yes. I get different answers even from myself.  I might appear to be contradicting myself at times, but that's because I'm on the fence and I'm just taking note of what others are saying. It's a great discussion actually.

Imagine putting your wrist up to a neck wound gushing with blood.  What angle is your arm at when this happens?  Try it and see for your self. 

Now imagine that the blood has transferred to the wrist as Hartley suggests.  How does it then begin to separate in to four streams and travel to a point further accross the wrist - and then in a split second, suddenly coagulate and not travel any further?

For a start, I can't put the inside of my wrist against that part of my neck. I can put the lower part of my hand against it though, and yes, I can see how the blood would run. If I'm sitting up, the blood would run towards my elbow, and if I'm lying down, the blood would run towards my fingers, not towards my wrist.
