Re: “Her fingernails? They hit her with a pipe and and a rock. Do you think you would be able to scratch and claw after getting hit in the head with a pipe and a rock?”
From the Part #1 of the account, several paragraphs down:
“. . . the presence of semen, blood, and hair on all of the suspects; a scratch on Kevin Richardson’s neck that, in the company of his father, he admitted he received by Meili;”
Again, I don’t doubt these guys were involved, I’m just surprised that no DNA from them was found if she scratched him.
It is unlikely that they thought to collect it, at that time there would seem to be no use for samples from all over the body, just from the intimate areas.
