Kate,
I think that the "old blood" next to the shoeprints was another red herring designed to reinforce the idea that ALL of the blood drops next to the shoeprints belonged to O.J. That helps the real killers even if one or two of the drops had been there for months. You still have drops of "O.J.'s" blood on Bundy that couldn't have been there before the 12th. It reminds me of a special I saw once on Vietnam where Hanoi Jaine's friends in the media were doing "both sides" of question of whether most American combat soldies were more Fuhman or more like me. The guy they chose to speak for my side said, "Half of my squad never killed no innocent women and childeren!" What about the other half?
Joe Bosco wrote A Problem of Evidence because he thought the prosecution's handling of the case let O.J. Simpson go free. He thought that the police and prosecutors "framed the right guy." Pat McKenna said that some of the drops were red and one was brown. The test results showed different levels of DNA in each drop. The bottom line is, we're still talking about "O.J.'s" blood. It would have been easy to accomplish that simply by droppying anyone's blood next to the shoeprints and switching the samples in the lab. Dr' Lee's famous "Something wrong" comment had to do with evidence that strongly suggests samples 46-50 were switched.
Without the bodies and the bleeding killer theory I don't think that any of the people you mentioned would have noticed the blood drops or admitted it if they had noticed. Therefore the defense had nothing to gain by asking the question and the prosecution had everything to lose if only one person said they had noticed. I went over this pretty thoroughly in chapter 30. Because of all the drawings, it can take up to fifty minutes to load up. When I get home tonight I'll copy a portion of it that you can see without waiting forever to follow the hyperlink. Check this string tomorrow and I should have a hyperlink for you. --Jasper
