The tests don't lie
So much is made, by those who believe Scott is guilty, that
Scott lied so much how can anyone believe anything that he says. The truth of
the matter is, we don't have to believe anything Scott says. We don't have to
believe any one that has a vested interest in this case. We don't have to
determine who is telling the truth and who isn't. We don't have to decide whose
motives are pure and whose bias is objective.
Why? Because the forensic testing speaks loud and clear, and requires no
interpretation, has no ulterior motive, and cannot be misunderstood.
It is not always the case that the forensic testing is so conclusive -- in some
cases it still is very much subject to interpretation.
But, in this case, it is absolutely reliable.
Why? Because all of it contradicted the State's case. It was all collected by
the State, controlled by the State, tested by the State, and reported by the
State.
And all the tests came back NEGATIVE.
At every step of the way, those participating in its collection, testing, and
reporting had a vested interest in the test results.
And all the tests came back NEGATIVE.
We don't have to take Scott's word for where he was on Dec. 24, and what time he
was there, because he left a paper trail that proves, without bias, where he was
and when.
We don't have to take Scott's word for why the mops and bucket were outside the
door, or why anyone would be mopping the floor the day after the maid mopped,
because the forensic testing proves with absolute certainty that the mops and
bucket were not used to clean up a crime scene. That makes what they were used
for totally irrelevant.
We don't have to understand why Scott washed his clothes or why and how they got
wet, because the forensic testing proves with absolute certainty that he did not
commit the crimes he was convicted of wearing those clothes. That makes
everything else about the clothes totally irrelevant.
We don't have to understand why Scott was vacuuming on Dec 25, because the
forensic testing proves with absolute certainty that the vacuum cleaner was not
used to clean up a crime scene. That makes everything else about the vacuum
cleaner or the vacuuming totally irrelevant.
We don't have to know where the pliers came from or how the hair got into them,
because the forensic testing proves with absolute certainty that the pliers were
not used to cut the chicken wire and had not been used recently enough to be
involved in the crime. That makes everything else about the pliers and the hair
totally irrelevant.
Everything that the state presented as evidence against Scott was inconclusive,
subject to a range of interpretation; everything that was tested was absolutely
conclusive that Scott did not murder Laci.
What was tested? Everything in that house that had the least hint of suspicion
-- blood stains that they had to mark their location with sticky-notes because
they were so small they wouldn't show up in the pictures. Everything in the
pickup that had the least hint of suspicion. Everything in the boat that had the
least hint of suspicion.
Besides collecting items for testing, cadaver dogs and scent dogs were used.
Their results were inconclusive; most of it was not even allowed in as testimony
it was so inconclusive. What was let in was contradicted with other dog
testimony.
The State said Laci and Conner washed ashore, yet their own expert could not get
them back to the same place, and the best dive and sonar teams could not find
any evidence they had been where they should have been. So what difference does
it make why Scott went fishing, or if he should have gone fishing, or what time
of day he went fishing, or if he told some he was fishing and some he was
golfing, because the State's own experts and other witnesses proved with a
preponderance of the evidence that Laci was not where Scott was fishing.
So, when it gets right down to it, who cares whether Anne is telling the truth
or Scott; whether Amber is telling the truth or Scott -- because the forensic
testing proves that Scott did not murder Laci in that house or transport her in
that pickup or boat, or dump her in the bay. The entirety of the forensic
testing proves absolutely that Scott did not murder Laci in that house or
transport her in that pickup or boat; and the preponderance of the evidence
provided by the State itself proves that Scott did not dump Laci in the bay on
that fishing trip.
All the accusations Anne Bird makes in her book, and all the heretofore secret
documents that Catherine Crier cites in her book are meaningless as proof -- and
no claims that Scott did this or that, or that his mother did this or that, can
dispute the absolute certainty of the forensic testing.
Tell me why I should not place absolute trust in the forensic testing in this
case to declare that Scott is 100% factually innocent of the crimes he has been
convicted of. Give me one good reason why I should favor gossip over forensic
testing.
