[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did Brendan cut his hand? How about Joe? I watched a documentary once and the detective was saying that it’s almost impossible to stab someone and not get yourself hurt too due to the blood. It makes the knife slippery.[/quote]

It seems like Brendan did not have noticeable “slippage” wounds. The ME testified that Christine’s wounds were a mixture of stabbing and cutting wounds, with the definition of those being length versus depth and there can be a combination, but the deepest was around 2in in this case. It seems like more of a combination/cutting motion may have been used if I understand her testimony. The knife was not a knife you would typically use to stab someone. It looks like a kitchen butcher knife. So these things might explain why Brendan managed to do it without cutting himself.

Throughout this thread we’ve speculated that he could have been wearing gloves because it was winter (and just used that as an excuse) but it seems like he wasn’t. He had blood on his bare hands and he washed his hands prior to swabs being taken (officer testified about this and the blood on the hands is on the bodycam). But I think any injuries to his hands like that would have been immediately noted by officers that day. Based on testimony we heard there was concern or suspicion at least among some FCPD people from day one. So I think they would have been looking closely and nothing seems documented about that.
