It is indeed intellectually honest to assume that a negative TMB test does not have any logical power to rule out blood, and to point at another substance - because contrarily from Kaosums' claims, this is what scientifical literature actualy provides; even in this very same investigation there were sets of presumed blood stains in which some of them were negative to TMB and others were positive. And they were not even latent traces, they were visible, and ll obviously part o the same set.
.
But the prints do not all belong to Amanda. They belong to two different individuals, and one of them which belongs to a bigger foot which is compatible with Sollecito (and with the bloody bathmat print).
Moreover some of the prints are not "going" into Amanda's room. Two of them are located in the corridoor "beyond" her room, towards Romaneli's room. Why was she going into Filomena's room that morning (with another person)?
And then - third further detail - in Romanelli's room, there is another luminol stain. This one yielding a mixture of both Meredith and Knox's DNA! And the stain (yet of the same "unexplained" substance) is a room where no DNA from Knox and Meredith should never expected to be found.
And fourth, along with your ypotheses there should be a 'residual' print on the bathmat too - since she asserts she went in her room standing on the bathmat and dragging it. But there should be equally a residual watery blood layer on the shower plate, since the residual dluted blood that she picks up as she walks out of the shower must have a "source".
In fact there are residual watery blood footprints on the bathmat. But there was no residual blood in the shower.
So where sid she pick up the "residual" diluted blood?
(or maybe it means that was not "residual" at all?)
You see, I am just really amazed to see some people who draw scenarios in which person takes a shower in the victim's blood, while argueing that the person should not look like a suspect.
Why should anyone expect an intellectually honest discussion from you Machiavelli when you pose such absurd arguments as this?
1. You need to cite the literature regarding the TMB. The literature actually says that TMB and Luminol are "presumptive tests" for blood. Both react to "different" things in blood. Neither is actually a confirmatory test for blood. That Miss moron Stefanoni did not perform any, especially considering the contradicting tests demonstrates both her incompetence and stupidity. Also the fact that she didn't disclose them is troubling.
2. All of the stains detected with luminol tested negative for blood.
3. The footprints were also swabbed and tested for DNA. None of them tested positive for Meredith's DNA. Let me repeat that,
4. None of the bare footprints detected with luminol tested positive for Meredith's DNA.
Here is a layout of the footprints. The blue dots represent footprints that were revealed through Luminol. The Red Dots represent footprints "in visible" blood to the naked eye.
The picture below is footprint number 1 as seen with luminol. The prosecution claims this footprint belongs to Amanda. The footprint is just outside Meredith's door with the toes pointing towards Meredith's room. How did they come to the conclusion that this print belonged to Amanda? Who knows? Did they simply assume? Okay, let's try and make it work. Amanda steps in Meredith's blood in the bedroom. She leaves no footprints at all in Meredith's room. She hops on one foot to the door keeping her foot that is covered in blood elevated. When she gets to Meredith's door, she turns around and hops backward out of the room onto the once elevated foot, leaving one single footprint made in blood on the floor. Was all of the blood from her foot transferred in that one print or did she simply start hoping on the other foot again? Tough decision? Okay, let's come back to it then.
The picture below shows footprints 2 and 3. These blobs were said to be two right feet. The prosecution claims that the footprint on the right belongs to Raffaele. How did they come to the conclusion that this print belonged to Raffaele? Who knows? Did they simply assume? Okay, once again, let's try and make it work. Raffaele steps in Meredith's blood in her bedroom. He hops on his left foot into the hallway. Then he puts down his right foot one time making one footprint. The same question applies for Raffaele. Was all of the blood from his foot transferred in that one print or did he simply start hopping on the other foot again? At least with Raffaele he could hop forward. He had it easier that the backward hopping
Amanda. Wait, what about that other footprint? You know, the other right footprint right next to Raffaele's. Who's footprint is that? Where did it come from? The prosecution did not care. They decided to skip it all together. Oops, we said skip. I think we meant hop.
All of the shoe prints seen in visible blood belong to Rudy Guede. Every single one of the shoe prints seen in blood, match the tread pattern of Rudy's shoes. But Rudy didn't hop, in fact, his prints are directional. Walking straight out the door.
We are not only supposed to believe that Amanda and Raffaele hopped all over the place, we are supposed to believe that they were able to clean up the stains found with luminol. We were even told that some footprints must have been cleaned up well enough so the luminol could not find them. We are supposed to believe that Amanda and Raffaele were able to achieve this amazing clean up without disturbing any of Rudy's prints and leaving no trace of their cleanup effort.
The prosecution presented no evidence whatsoever that proved that any clean up effort took place. Bloody shoe prints from Rudy Guede's shoes are seen going down the hall and right out the front door. How could Amanda and Raffaele clean the floor, removing all of the evidence that pointed at them, while leaving all of the evidence that pointed to Rudy completely untouched? . This type of clean up effort would simply be impossible. The prosecution's theory is simply nonsense.
