Mods, please move if there is already a thread discussing this, I searched, but didn't find one and I have been to Callahan's and have a few questions about the wax:
First, how much wax are we talking here? Was there enough wax that it would appear that someone spilled it all over one of the boys? What color was the wax. From what I am reading both red and blue wax was to be searched for at the house. Where is the red wax coming from? Was the wax on more than one of the boys? Was there any remnants of candle wax anywhere but on the shirt? It is my understanding that the book was secondhand, from the library or somewhere. Was there a candle seized from Damien's house? I saw somewhere that a blue candle was seized from Domini's trailer. Was there any questioning about this? Were there ever any searches on the houses of the boys (CB, SB and MM) looking for any evidence of wax, or anything else for that matter? I am also seeing that there was "no match" to the candle wax. Was it that there was no match, or was it that it was never tested to find out if there was a match, and if so, do we know why not? I can't just dismiss it based on there being "no match" without indication that there was any testing *just as I cannot accept it as being a match, or to go further, Damien's candle wax at all without testing, especially if it only came from a secondhand book. Or to word better, you can't say "no match" without testing and be 100% honest about the fact. Did the defense team ever request or have done any testing on the wax?
I know that no one probably has an answer to all of these questions, but I am trying to fill in the gaps I was left with while reading Callahans. I may have missed some things because we have had internet and power issues between the hurricane and the earthquake.
