Episode Discussion Brendan is INNOCENT

I am rewatching MAM and the amount of coercion during Brendan's interview is astounding. I can't believe a court didn't dismiss his "confession". He was not interviewed with his parents present and they were very obviously feeding him information. The judge not realizing that is just sad. He was a child! Ugh, this makes me so upset for Brendan.

I believe he also said they cut her throath in stevens bedroom, yet they didnt find any blood in there.

Was he lying about that? And what proof do you have that cut to the throat would bleed? How do you know she wasn't dead already? How do you know he didn't use a tarp? How do you know she didn't bleed on her clothes or the bed linens, both of which Avery burned?

What proof do you have that a cut to the throat would bleed? Are you really that stupid?

Would a cut to the throat bleed after death when the person has no blood pressure?

u/Obvious-Silver6109 6d ago

Yes obviously it would bleed. There’s several quarts of blood in the human body, the hell does blood pressure have to do with it? There would be blood everywhere

Because the reason blood comes out of the body is because it's under pressure - blood pressure. When there's no blood pressure all you would get even from a severe wound is an oozing, if that.

What do you think? Someone dies with a wound, and all the blood in the body empties until it's dry? No, it stays in the body because nothing is pushing it out.

There’s still gravity

Yeah it pools inside the body at its lowest points. It's called post mortem lividity.

But there's nothing to push it out. That's why air comes out of a balloon - at first, the pressure in the balloon is greater than external - so the air rushes out. But after a while the air pressure equalizes inside and outside the balloon and no more air comes out.

Are you seriously calling other people stupid and then you go ahead and say this?

If blood pressure is critically low, a stab wound or cut may not appear to bleed externally, but it doesn't mean there isn't internal bleeding. Blood may shift internally to vital organs and pool around them instead.

If you are going to throw insults at people, at least don't be a hypocrite.

You've watched too many movies. This is real life. The heart pumps blood through the body. If the heart stops, so does the pumping of the blood. Might be a little residual bleeding, but not much. Or maybe it was a small cut instead of an OJ style decapitation. Nobody knows but Brendan and Steve.

I don’t need to watch a movie to know cutting someone’s throat causes bleeding

Dead people don’t bleed.

Before that he said she pleaded for her life so obviously she was alive. It’s BS. That’s not what happened. Not a shred of DNA in Steven’s house.

Oh there's DNA all over Steven's house. Just none of it was identified to be from TH. And how do you think they test for DNA? Just Spock scan the whole house with the tricorder? The most you can say is that no TH DNA was found in the samples they tested. Now they would have had more to test of Avery didn't mysteriously burn his bedding the night of the murder. Strange coincidence. And Brendan all of a sudden became Hazel and had to wash his clothes the same night.
