. Here we go again the old ritual washing Chestnut, I wonder if the magician did a pull through on the barrel just in case any muck/ blood got on the bullets before killing herself or after? Does washing your hands stop fingerprints? I would say having clean hands stops the prints from being more visible to the naked eye rather than having dirty hands it doesn’t eliminate them.
No, just washing your hands and having clean hands would not necessary prevent fingerprints, but that is not what I said. As usual, you have twisted what I say into something slightly different. I'm not sure if you do this out of stupidity, because you're thick, or you do it because you are just biased and dishonest. Anyway, what I also referred to is Sheila drying her hands, which could prevent fingerprints.
You ridicule the washing theory, even though it is supported by psychiatry and, I would say, it is also supported by common experience. A woman who has just killed five people, including her children, and has blood on her, might well then want to wash herself before killing herself. The phenomenon is well-known among murder-suiciders and suiciders in general, so why do you keep ridiculing it?
It's not hard to imagine that somebody who is about to commit suicide would want to be clean and maybe well-dressed. Why is that ridiculous? I agree it isn't rational, but we're not dealing with a rational frame of mind, so we have to use our imagination a bit.
Yet you maintain it is ridiculous. I can only assume you have credentials in this field? Perhaps you could confirm what these are? Are you a forensic psychiatrist, or just in general psychiatry? Do you have many patients? Where did you complete your medical degree? Where did you undertake your training as a registrar? Once we have a sense of your expertise, then we can afford your arrogance more credence.
