Lie number 10,000.
My wife did the press on nail experiment this week end
Press on nails don't break off-they peel off in their entirety-with little or minimal pressure.
Pictures taken post " trauma " should have shown all 10 nails off or hanging off by rubber cement like threads.
And the only way one could be broken-was to smash it with a hammer.
Maybe they had a hammer in the bathroom with the broom.
I think the phrase "broken off" is used loosely to mean they came off. I understand the defense says the ones with the DNA were never appled.
Exactly! I am under the impression that they are WHOLE; in fact, some were found AFTER the police searched the house supposedly.
And if there was DNA on the fingernails, why wasn't there any on her OTHER nails?
