I'm not sure what you mean about round spots. Similar to what?
One of my earliest CS photo observations were the round spots on the shoes and footstool. The foot stool had more streaks of blood than anything. I said the spots on the shoes appear as if someone was directly overhead, and the blood dropped straight down. Close, no spatter.
It could be from a number of wounds suffered by any of the victims. I don't see many spots of blood ANYWHERE near the shoes themselves, but by the time the photos were taken, the killers had moved bodies around, Justin had moved Sue- shifting the couch.
Ignore where the shoes were found and think more about where they may have been. Why no round blood spots all around the shoes?
Was all the clothing staging? Not a laundry basket in the house, yet a bloody cardboard box found in the dumpster- alongside a twisted and bloodied tissue (nose bleed? rain-drop blood spots?) If you dump a box of clothes, it's in a clump. Laundry was everywhere.
I've always seen the clothing AND the blood as a timeline. A layered timeline. Repositioning of any item would send Sherlock Holmes reeling: which came first? Almost all is locked in the details. None of us are Doyle, nor were we on-site to see witness an undisturbed scene.
Thus, we don't know the scene as disturbed during the killings, before disturbed by the killers during postmortem posing, before disturbed by Justin (and Rick?), disturbed by Sheila, Don, Jamie S, before disturbed by LE. We only have AFTER fucked by LE. And scant few of those shitty photos hold the truth we need to determine the series of events.
My takeaway is a cardboard box holding laundry may have been in play. I believe they killers used a box to remove evidence, including shit they brought. But they missed the rifle sights, the TWO CAMEL PACKS, all the blood on doors, etc etc.
Clothes on the floor are scattered. Sue was down to one smoke, the "morning smoke" as someone brilliantly observed. One clothesline was torn down, three stood almost empty. If Sue was that broke, our known Sue would buy more smokes before ever paying for laundry- much less DRYING- at the Keddie dorm. She would have washed them at Meeks or elsewhere. If laundry drying was a pay-to-play issue, those back lines would have been used. No laundry was done on Sat, according to Justin. Just yard work. Nothing on the surviving lines but a small rug, supported by two lines and a length of 2x4.
All of this is an imploding house of cards. Money found in Sue's purse probably is not the limit of her abilities to get smokes on Sunday. Just one instance to knock down any supporting pillar in a world of maybes.
The scattering of the clothes in the living room may be the ultimate exposure of what we've been missing. The murders were highly staged. I saw clothing all over the ground in both bedrooms in CS fotos. Just slobs living their lives, not tossed around. Think Oscar Madison.
If there was a cardboard box, or boxes, of clean laundry for the killers to pillage, why was three times as much on the floor of Sue, Tina's, Sheila's bedroom? I've personally seen a dozen homes where shit was everywhere, and they would apparently choose what to clean from the floor. My understanding is the Seabolts' house was just that, but with 20x more clothes. So, clothes on the floor doesn't mean they didn't just do laundry for Monday, when the kids had to go back to school after Easter week off.
A week off. Mayhem in Keddie with kids running amok, mayhem in 28 with Sue doing no more than her usual minimum.
Usual minimum? doesn't the yardwork speak opposite to that sentiment? Or was Justin lying about the truth? Sue was outside telling her kids to clean the yard and, as soon as she returned to the TV butt-bombed couch, everyone split? Well, no tools in the yard, they were leaned up by the front door alcove window. And the HUGE LEAF BAGS Sue used to dispense drugs were just inde the front door, beside the small palm-type plant in the alcove behind the door- where the 3' bookstand stood.
We can't take the incongruities as certainties, as these were multiple humans with different lifestyles and one mom who apparently didn't give much of a fuck.
The socks, lots of the clothing in the living room doesn't belong there. And certainly not hosw it was found. Even if you dump a box of clothes and kick it around, it won't ever end up like the clothes found in the living room.
Let's say all clothes were found UNDER bodies. Not true. Look at my 3D recration. The only clothing found under a body was under SUE. And that's because Justin shifted, rolled her body from The Pose, and covered her. So all clothing found may have been sprinkled around. So find the clothing that had blood on it, emove that which we've seen none. What's left is shoes and shorts.
A few pairs of shoes left in the lr ain't uncommon. Couch, TV, kick off the shoes, get tired, go to your bed and sleep.
Again, I'm not sure what you're after Aus. Hopefully my take on the clothing is up the alley you're in.
What nobody seems to realize is a postmortem tool can't logically be deemed a weapon, and I believe the table leg/w4 was all postmortem. Thus, not a weapon.
