Questions on the apparent red toe nail polish in the kitchen.

Even AE didn't understand head nor tail of Sheila's letter,which,if I'm not wrong,was puzzled by it.

Do you have to include " lying " ? That word never entered my head as my word would have been controlling/under the " spell " of her mother's psychological abuse.

Please read my post thoroughly. I said  "We MAY be..............." It IS possible that she said words she thought June would want her to say. To the best of my knowledge she hadn't been offered psychotherapy which may have been more beneficial than drug therapy.

Which is reasonable given that Ann had no idea that Sheila was in hospital. It must have seemed a very confusing letter, especially as it was the first one Sheila had ever written her. Might she have been concerned that June had told Ann what was wrong with her. Her explanation about her various complaints seems rather like she was seeking to contradict something someone else may have said.

Why mention lying at all ? So unnecessary when lesser words will suffice.

However-----I can agree with psychotherapy as opposed to drugs being as I'm not of the belief that Sheila had schizophrenia.

Thank-you for your opinion, but I believe my grasp of language is such that it's quite unnecessary for you suggest what you believe may be more appropriate words.

Even accepting her schizophrenia, there'd have been no reason for her not to have psychotherapy. Drugs only deal with the chemical inbalance responsible for some mental illness. Psychotherapy can help to make sense of psychological inbalance.

I have seen the photo of the entire carpet area, there is only one bit there. And to my eyes that flake is slightly pink also.

So have I but there is no carpet, just what looks like a coconut mat. You can tell what such a flake would be from a photograph it could just as easily be from the aga.

I see we have strayed well away from the facts ...... again.

If it was from the mantle the complexion would be darker and there would be allot more paint chippings on the ground.

Didn't Sutherst state that the red particle found beneath the mantelpiece was not paint and the colouring matched that of Sheila's toe nail varnish ?

Where/how would flakes of paint come off a few scratches anyway ? The marks weren't deep enough.

Didn't Sutherst identify the tiny particle from a photo? Given that both polish and paint were red, he'd have to be more than an expert to A) differentiate between the two  B) state confidently that the colour matched polish as opposed to paint.

If you favour guilt - but also suspect the sound moderator was concocted to form part of the 'noble cause corruption', then if red chipping was paint from the mantelpiece, isn't that a bit of a jarring coincidence?  I mean the paint on the sound moderator is supposed to be from a struggle in the vicinity of the mantelpiece. I know what the answer will be. 'It's paint from the mantelpiece but not linked to any struggle'. All bases covered.

Surely we're on neutral territory here. My previous post made no reference to either innocence or guilt. I stand by what I said. Anyone must be genius beyond words who can claim, from a picture, that a tiny flake of red comes, not from the red fire surround but from red nail polish which has found it's way from nail to floor, and furthermore can be seen, from that picture to be a closer match to the nail polish than to the paint. I don't care WHICH side you're on, that statement must be questionable.

The red particle which was found matched the part which was missing from Sheila's damaged toenail------saying that she was in the kitchen when the damage to her toe occurred.

[Adam]

Where is the photo of Sheila's damaged toe ? Or the pathologists report saying it was damaged ?

Or is it the CT making something up in 2010 ?

Why did Sheila damage her toe during the massacre ? Her or another woman could have damaged it at any time.
