The marks on the wrist can only be made when someone is alive. Mentioned in this article by KD:Your quote: “As KD said, he was attacked as he entered the house and could have very easily been killed right then, but he wasn't because his hands were bound while he was still alive per the 2nd autopsy.”
Can you please provide a link for that information? I’m not aware of any report or part of the podcast that states that we know when the wrist ligatures were applied, only that they had marks on their wrists.
The provincial pathologist saw marks on the Shermans’ wrists and sent samples to be examined. He showed photos from the first autopsies to the pathologist who did the second autopsies. We don’t know more than that, afaik. We don’t know when the marks were made—although it seems likely they were made prior to death— and we don’t know the exact times of their deaths.
—not to discount your theory. I also believe they were retrained immediately, but I’m just speculating. I know it seems like a small point but it may have been done as a part of staging.

"That police theory changed to “targeted” double homicide five weeks later when the Star published details of the private autopsy arranged by the Sherman family. Markings on the Shermans’ wrists revealed they’d been bound while alive. Plus, there were thin ligature marks around their necks, under the belts that were holding them in a seated position beside their swimming pool. The belts were used to stage, not kill them."
