I'm not sure how you arrived at these conclusions, care to elaborate?
You bet I do!
1) The garrote. Since JB's hair was found tied into the knot at the back of JB's neck, that means that it was tied onto her, not made prior to her being there. Just how likely does it seem that she would complacently allow him to do this? THEN, he'd have to strangle her from behind, since the knot was behind her.
2) The molestation. JB's outer labia were not scratched or damaged, so whatever object was inserted was not merely shoved into her. With girls of that age, the labia stay closed unless manually separated. That means that one of the intruder's hands had to hold her labia open while his other hand inserted the object (whatever you think that was.) Again, would a live, conscious JB allow a stranger to do any of that?
3) And this is most pressing of all. The Intruder Theory (or, perhaps more accurately, the Lou Smit theory) holds that the intruder was strangling her from behind while molesting her at the same time in some kind of horrible "game." But, as I've shown, she would have to be lying on her stomach for him to strangle her AND lying on her back for him to have molested her and her vaginal injury to match the penetration angle. To do that, he would have needed to "twist" her body so that her head was facing down while her legs were facing up.
So, let's count how many arms this guy would need to do all of this:
At least 1 to hold her down.
2 to tie the garrote around her neck.
2 to hold her vagina open and molest her.
That's FIVE arms. Even if I were to allow (and I DON'T) that he used a knee to hold her down, he'd still need at least THREE. Hey, were their any Greek mythological monsters or nefarious Hindu gods bopping around Boulder at Christmas of '96?
Is your interpretation of the injuries supported by the AR &/or expert opinions? If so, how?
You'd better believe it, Mama2JML!
The autopsy report itself shows that JB's hair was tied into the knots. The AR and photos also show the knot and handle at the back of her neck. That's one.
The AR described the injured area of JB's vagina as being at the "7:00 position." If you look at a clock-face head-on, you'll see that 7:00 is down and slightly to the left. As Cyril Wecht pointed out in his book, that's consistent with a right-handed person either inserting their finger or the paintbrush handle with JB on her back. Add to that: what I said a few paragraphs above about needing to separate the labia of a female that young is taken from John McCann, a top child abuse expert who also worked on the case. That's two.
Anything you want to know, just ask me. That's what I'm here for.
