I started my "project" last night of trying to take photos off the tv with fast film and fast speed. We shall see if it works. Hopefully, I get a few good shots.
Correction: When replaying the Dr. Lee tape I discovered the heel print in on tile 2 not 3 from the top of the step. It seems Goldberg had a "fixation" with tile 3 as a ROW and used the term tile 3 every chance he got. In reality, the heel print is on tile 2 from the top of the step leading to the back but the 3rd tile over from the left.
Also the heel print is a Leftie and just past it on the right is a print very much like what is on page 15 of Fuhrman's book on the left side.
It appears to be a "person making a step" in other words with a lone heel print on the left and a fuller print on the right about a foot or so ahead of the print.
The print on Page 15 of MF's book could be this one but it is also very similar to one that is on about tile 9 or 10. Goldberg was so FIXATED with Row 3 that Ito even got into the act correcting him. He wan't to call the one on the 10th or so row to be on tile 3 as well. Scheck even got into the act of coming over and Properly numbering the tiles for the record.
For those of us who were unclear about the blood drops, the first one is on a tile very near the downspout on the left at the edge of the glassed in Living Room. It is about tile 7 from the steps. It is NOT on Row 3 but row 1 nearest the house.
I attempted to take a pix of this as well in relationship to the shoeprints to the right.
I "attempted" a pix of Dr. Lee pointing out the Second set of prints on the right side that are lighter but are parallel to the more distinct set. You can "see" them on the tv but whether they show up in this pix is another story.
Also it is clear to me that there isn't enough blood on either shoe to carry prints to the back of the condo and onto the driveway.
Another thing I became aware of while looking at this video from the trial is that the BM shoes do NOT have deep groves on the soles as we were led to believe that would allow blood to continually drop down to make new prints as a person is walking. They do have a pattern all over the bottom of the shoe but it is NOT deep---in fact, it is pretty much surface stuff. I have several pairs of shoes that have a Much deeper grove on the sole than this shoe.
In fact, (it would require a test to see) but it appears to me if someone stepped in deep blood in these shoes, the first few prints would be a glob of blood rather than an imprint until some of the blood was shaken off the sole. Or was worn off the sole. And every print we see is a "stamped" version of the imprint from the bottom of the shoe.
In fact, I noticed that it has Less of a grove on the bottom than most track shoes these days.
Since I have seen the prints out of sequence so far when I've seen them, it is hard to say, but it appears to me the prints that they use most often--the ones up on around tile 10 has MOre blood on it than the ones prior to it.
What was fascinating to me was that there appeared to be several blood drops up beside the footprints but they picked only the perfectly round one off to the side to say was an "OJ blooddrop".
Several of these look as if someone slung off blood from their person or from a knife.
I am going to REREAD the locations of these so-called blooddrops because if what I think is true---they "cherry-picked" which blood drops to use.
