Does Luminol Need Confirmation?

Post image

I'll admit this is a low effort post but for those of us with the misfortune to have argued this case over the years, spraying coffee etc ... all over your phone or monitor is an understandable response.

For those lucky enough not to have dealt with the Hairy Rag, it has been stating flatly for over a decade that Luminol hits at Villa Della Pergola *HAVE* to be assumed to be blood. What else could it be?

Except that is when a countryman is in the dock. Then the "science" changes dramatically and Luminol hits in the McCann's hotel room absolutely need additional confirmatory tests.

( For the record, I have absolutely no knowledge and therefore no informed opinion on the McCann case. I merely mention it to demonstrate the hypocrisy of one of the most prominent Knox guilters ).

I must say I don’t know the person but have read a few bits and bobs on the subject and he seems fairly consistent? I mean, I know you evidently don’t care for him, but he doesn’t seem a brazen hypocrite?

Elsewhere he basically makes a point about context, which is significant.

Luminol footprints flashing at known violent crime scene with lots of blood elsewhere = presumably the probabilities change here

Vs microscopic spatters at short stay apartment in missing child case (later shown to be somebody else’s blood who’d stayed there years earlier by the way)

For avoidance of doubt, the notion that Kate and Gerry had anything to do with Madeleine’s disappearance is full scale flat earthing as far as anybody sensible is concerned. It bears no parallel whatsoever with the ambiguity and complexity of the Kerchner case.

Harry Rag is a fraud. He pretends to be some sort of sophisticated, well-traveled businessman, yet he claimed that I was "unintentionally hilarious" for saying that Kercher could use her Sony K800i while in Italy. Harry also claims to have read all the court documents but didn't recall the Massei Report specifically mentioning Kercher's use of an English mobile phone while in Perugia.

He wrote a defense of Stefanoni's DNA work that relied heavily on Stefanoni's own opinion of her work. How stupid is that? We all get to grade our own work?

Harry Rag is a clown.

"he claimed that I was "unintentionally hilarious" for saying that Kercher could use her Sony K800i while in Italy."

Oh dear.
