She pushes on his hand/curled fingers, causing his finger that was already on the trigger to fire the gun. Splatter on back of both her hands. <BR/><BR/>And then there was his semen on her chest/breast. She wanted to leave but he was forcing a hand job (excuse the bluntness) by jamming a gun in her mouth. <BR/><BR/>For me that is how it all falls into place.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668009846343571069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-44821097355867040622009-03-22T13:06:00.000-07:002009-03-22T13:06:00.000-07:00The science really tells something there doesn't i...The science really tells something there doesn't it? That plus "I think I killed somebody" seems more than enough. The science shows that the back spatter on the wrists shows pretty clearly that she was either defending herself or trying to push him away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-33103575954636800532009-03-22T12:59:00.000-07:002009-03-22T12:59:00.000-07:00Where were Lana's hands:We know the back of Lana's...<B>Where were Lana's hands:</B><BR/><BR/>We know the back of Lana's wrists were facing the spattering event because of Jamie Lintemoot's testimony of observing spatter on both wrists at the scene.<BR/><BR/>It would be physically impossible for Lana's finger or thumb to be on the trigger of the weapon and still have the back of her hands be facing the spattering event.<BR/><BR/>Even with Dr. Di Maio's testimony of how he has seen a suicide victim hold the weapon, that positioning he demonstrated would not account for that spatter on the dorsal (back side) of Lana Clarkson's wrists.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-54518029599823182192009-03-22T12:01:00.000-07:002009-03-22T12:01:00.000-07:00Shooter says:I am a barely 5ft.,max.100lbs.female ...Shooter says:<BR/>I am a barely 5ft.,max.100lbs.female <BR/>that has sever arth.post OP in both wrists.

My theory: Mr. Spector couldn't get a certain male organ to 'function' correctly - thus explaining why he chose to walk the 80+ steps to his home to get the blood 'flowing', rather than be dropped off at the back door as he had always done in the past. Upon his failure to perform, Ms. Clarkson decided it was time to go home. A drunken/stoned Spector then blamed Ms. Clarkson for his limpness, and pointed a gun at her - demanding that she 'perform' on the gun.<BR/><BR/>This would be why Weinberg vigorously objected to photos of Spector's Viagra possession. Remember, he can't stand it when a woman decides it's time to leave. Being the control freak that he is, only he is allowed to determine when a date is over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-40429667770210713202009-03-21T20:46:00.000-07:002009-03-21T20:46:00.000-07:00I had a badly broken wrist when I was 12.

So I can imagine that would be a factor with Lana and two broken wrists. I suppose the reason they didn't bring it up is that there are so many variables, and it would take so much court time. Hopefully there is enough other strong evidence to convict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-57942169584413482032009-03-21T19:47:00.000-07:002009-03-21T19:47:00.000-07:00Mort, I couldn't do it.

I was in OT a couple of years ago for hand problems and I still haven't recovered my ability to use my hands well.<BR/><BR/>While there, I was with two people who had broken both wrists. They used a special device to build up strength in their hands which allowed them to "press" weights with their fingers. The rubber bands were for one pound of weight per finger. At five months out from their injuries, "pressing" one pound was difficult. I can't imagine them pressing 4 pounds for a very long time, let alone in the position necessary to fire that gun under optimal conditions. Eleven pounds... never!<BR/><BR/>I always wondered why that was never brought up.ritanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798894468241676294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-90108221400188480022009-03-21T18:19:00.000-07:002009-03-21T18:19:00.000-07:00That is a very clear piece of information, too bad...That is a very clear piece of information, too bad it wasn't used as a demo during the trial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
