Just because you would throw the shirt away doesn't mean someone else would. We all make our own value judgements. Some people detest the idea of throwing something away if it can be salvaged, no matter the cost. Maybe they had just bought that shirt the week before. Maybe VB is a hoarder who never gets rid of anything. Maybe they're not very intelligent. Maybe this, maybe that.
The point is, if you're looking at someone with suspicion already, you're going to find something wrong with whatever they do. Whether he smiles or doesn't smile, whether he looks at his son or not, whether he takes a bloody shirt to the cleaners or not, everything is going to be viewed through a filter that causes it to seem like something it's not.
For example, if they had thrown that shirt away while at BB's house, and if the police had gone thru BB's trash later, how would THAT have looked? Then someone could say, "Why in the world would you throw away a bloody shirt within days of a murder? Shouldn't they have known how that would look?"
Agree Cannonball. And in response to ocgrad comment BBM. JMHO but no matter what length of time RB would have went to the Cleaners, his name alone, in town where MB was just murdered would have struck up a few questions. It was a few hours (per SW Affidavit before MPD was even notified, so the clerk had to ponder over that or was telling someone, either way, I can't see RB waltzing into Cleaner, Hi I am RB my daughter in law was murdered on Monday and my dog got attacked and killed and we tried to get blood out but couldn't so I need it and these others cleaned, thanks bye - Being silly but I don't it went down exactly like that. Could have who knows. But jmho Cannonball is right,
