This is why Mike Stockdale and Ralph Taylor wouldn't take the bet. The blood on Robin's right shoe gave them all up.

Mike and Ralph wouldn't take the first bet about the blood inside the barrel because they knew they were lying and I've posted the evidence from the transcript last week. There's more in that evidence that shows it was rotten daddy's dna in the rifle.

But moving to the most recent bet that neither 'man' would take, that there was no dna found on Robin's shoe as they have claimed many time or that was his own, here follows....

WITNESS REFERRED TO EXHIBITS L1 AND L2
Q. I understand the Court and members of the jury have copies of these photos. If you could just hold up for the members of the jury, yes exhibit L1. Now can you just describe for us what that was?
A. This is the upper surface of the right shoe of, I think it's item 246, the shoes from Robin Bain. There is some yellow circles on there, we do that to make it a little bit more apparent where there is potentially some scientific findings. On the front of the upper here there were three distinct bloodspots of airborne origin detected, whereas on the remainder of the shoe there were a number of red stains with the appearance of blood but which we couldn’t confirm were blood.

Recapping that 3 distinct blood spots that were blood and a number of red stains that couldn't be confirm as blood. Generally speaking the 3 spots are a good enough indicator that the stains were also blood but as the scientist said in his evidence 3 were 'distinct blood spots.'

Even if the hangbainers had the guts not to lie about this they would say that it was Robin's blood from when he was shot...sorry. Not only was the blood not identified but was present before the final shot, remember it was airborne spray.

Q. Just in relation to scene A, and if I can take you back to what we saw in scene A, perhaps if we could go to photograph A5. What can you say about the stains that you have observed on the shoes being consistent with the position of Robin Bain, namely whether before the shot or at the time of the shot, whether he was kneeling, sitting, standing, what can you say?
A. If these stains originated at the time of the shot then the shoe would not have been occluded from the source of the blood. By kneeling you would tend to occlude the upper surface of a shoe, and therefore these spots couldn’t have originated as they did at the time of the shot.
