Just test the edge of it
with your finger. Carefully!
:58:08
You agree that the point
and the cutting edge are razor-sharp?
:58:12
- Yes, sir.
- Now, if such a knife were to slip,
:58:15
might it not inflict a cut
that would bleed profusely?
:58:18
Yes, sir, it might.
:58:19
Inspector, you stated that the bloodstains
on the prisoner's jacket were analysed,
:58:24
as was the blood of Mrs French, and
they were both found to be of group O.
:58:29
- That is correct.
- However,
:58:32
if the prisoner's blood
were also of this same group,
:58:35
then the stains on his jacket
may well have resulted
:58:38

:58:41
Yes, sir.
:58:43
Did you examine
the prisoner's blood, Inspector?
:58:47

:58:50
I have here a certificate
:58:53
stating that Leonard Stephen Vole
is a blood donor
:58:57
at the North London Hospital.
:58:59
And that his blood is group O.
:59:07
Thank you, Inspector.
:59:12
Inspector, granted that the cut
on the wrist was caused by that knife,
:59:17
is there anything to show
whether it was an accident
:59:20
or done deliberately after the murder
to account for the bloodstains?
:59:24
- Oh, really, my lord!
- I withdraw the question.
:59:27
You may stand down.
:59:31
- Call Janet McKenzie.
- Janet McKenzie.
:59:34
- Janet McKenzie.
- Janet McKenzie.
:59:59
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence...
