this was a relatively contained crime seen. a lot of impact blood spattered. gardner carefully examined everything the doctor had been wearing that morning. a lot of the blood on his clothing could be explained by his attempt to administer cpr. but the expert looked at hamilton s shoes, the left one in particular, and found that to be a different matter. the shoes were found next to susan s body. john said they fell off his feet as he was attempting to revive her. the expert believed whoever was wearing the shoes that day was present when susan hamilton was being bludgeoned to death. effectively the inside and front of the shoe was in motion around this spatter event for mr. hamilton that s radiating out, and the only explanation of that event is the wounding to mrs. hamilton. and then there were these
of david s shirt. finding the spatter on the back of mr. duyst s sleeve i think is rather telling because it suggests that his arm is not just down, but rather, it s extended and up at the moment of that spatter event, which is consistent with the position that one would have to be in if they re firing a weapon into mrs. duyst. david duyst was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. he continued to maintain his innocence. he said when he found sandy, she was coughing, which explained how her blood got on to his shirt. it would be up to a jury to decide if david duyst was lying or telling the truth. there s a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies plus energy support. it s a new fiber supplement that helps support regularity and includes b vitamins to help convert food to energy. mmmmm, these are good! nice work, phillips!
it did show two separate wounds tracks right through the middle of the brain, each one of them, indicating that the first one had to be incapacitating. and this ain t right. she s got two in her head now. the doctor called immediately, and his immediate statement was, that can t be. two entrance and two exit wounds meant that either the pistol double fired or sandy pulled the trigger twice. i have had a number of cases in my own experience and there have been a number reported in the literature of more than one suicidal gunshot wound to the head. the common denominator in all those cases is that the first shot was not incapacitating. also suspicious, investigators found blood spatter on the 9-millimeter pistol but none on sandy s hands or arm. it really suggests that she is not in control of the weapon, but the weapon certainly was exposed to the spatter event.
asked blood spatter expert ross gardner for his opinion. this case is like many in the sense that what the suspect said is ultimately going to be tested against the crime scene. when emergency workers arrived, dr. hamilton was covered in his wife s blood. dr. hamilton s presence at the crime scene, the fact that he s bloody is completely expected. he has come home and found his wife dead. he s cradled her, taken action. but not all the blood on dr. hamilton s shirt could be explained away. dr. hamilton s claims presented some major contradictions. i don t expect to find spatter. the spatter i observed were present on the front of his shirt, below his neck, on both sleeves at the cuff, and this suggested that his arms and his body had been in close proximity to a spatter event.
