except I did not say that
Are you kidding me? Seriously? You're going to present now that the knife wasn't bleached?
After you made the big fuss about how your favorite letter claims the bleach would have destroyed all the DNA on the knife, so there's no way Meredith's DNA arrived via any means other than contamination?
Are you serious?
Disingenuous isn't even the right *********** word for this. You, Chris, are a bald-faced liar.
At this point, I would hope that no one in this thread would give you an ounce of credibility. If it wasn't apparent before, it is dreadfully apparent now that your sole purpose for being here is to twist the facts to fit your pre-conceived notions regarding Amanda.
(BTW: There's the door, over there ----->. Don't let it hit you on your way out)
BobTheDonkey,
I strongly urge you to desist with the name-calling go back and look at my comments and the open letter, both of which you are seriously misunderstanding. I had not seen the Malcolm Moore article until today. Profazio, who was quoted in the Daily Telegraph, said that the knife was cleaned with bleach, but he did not provide evidence.
My position about bleach and the knife was and remains: Stefanoni opined that the knife could have been cleaned with bleach at the trial, IIRC, but she never gave any evidence of which I am aware, such as a chemical analysis for sodium hypochlorite. What Profazio said about bleach destroying blood but not DNA is false, and I have given several citations to that effect. The open letter does not specify the method of cleaning; it only says that if you clean the knife to make it free of blood, it will almost certainly be free of DNA as well. If Stefanoni or anyone else claimed that bleach was used, the chances of having usable DNA are even lower, if possible. I do not have any position on how the knife was cleaned because I do not have, nor do I know of any evidence that decides this point.
With respect to your argument in a different comment that bleaching a lab regularly would preclude contamination, I only wish stopping contamination were that easy. For one thing, one cannot bleach every surface, every pipet, etc. Contamination happens even in labs that follow the correct protocols. We have been through this before.
When you say, “You're going to present now that the knife wasn't bleached?” you are putting words into my mouth that I never said. You mixed up RFU and pg, sending me off on a wild goose chase, and I have no more patience for these distractions. I do not think you are lying. I do think you are neither intellectually nor emotionally up to discussing any of these matters in an intelligent, adult fashion.
