I know that I do not like the fact that a little girl's blood is in his MH,if I was on the jury and no-one from the trial explained to me how her blood got there -then I would find it hard to beleive DW not guilty.

You DO NOT understand the American system of law! How long ago has it been since you had a government class. The prosecution must PROVE GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE doubt. All the defense has to show (if any thing, is there is doubt). That there are possible other explanations for something being there.ie. Children playing in MH. Cross contamination. Etc. They do not have to prove innocense just doubt. (Europe must prove innocense I believe) Get it now?

With all due respect, I think your logic is faulty.

Has the prosecutor told you how the blood got there? I haven't heard him do so. We don't even know how she was killed, although the ME hasn't ruled out suffocation. I'm not an expert but I don't think suffocation would produce two tiny drops of blood on DW's jacket.

It is not the defense's responsibility to tell you how the blood got there.
