And how did they determine if it was fresh, or was there from a long ago paper cut? Once again it really doesn’t matter. Mac was doomed once the case was pushed to the Grand jury

Red - it was a current issue magazine, so it could not have been very old. It was a smudge type stain. More blood than would typically result from a paper cut.
Have you seen many stains like that In magazines you read?
He was not doomed by the Grand Jury.
He got a fair trial.
He was doomed because of the choices he made.
His own actions.

Once again, the blood stain could have gone either way. Let’s me honest, it was strictly coincidental. Maybe when it comes to this case, we should just agree to disagree

Not at all Red. It was important evidence.
One of the stories in that magazine was about drugged out hippy cults in California getting violent. Manson style.
And in the story a girl chants about getting high on acid.
JRM took elements of that in developing his story.
Probably before he killed Kristen. Because her blood type was not found on the magazine.

I know James Blackburrn personally, and i can tell you this: he is sorry for what he has done that caused this conviction in the nineties, he really is. But he confessed, got sentenced and served out his sentence. But - at least he wasn‘t convicted for killing is pregnant wife and 2 young daughters. Let that sink in for a while. Blackburn did a marvelous job with the way he questioned MacDonald during trial, even Wade Smith recognized that. Like he said many times: they just lost, and that is sour grapes. MacDonald will never lease prison, and that is the ultimate justice for Colette, Kim, Kris, the unborn son and the Stevenson family.

Blackburn is sorry for what he did in the 90s? I’m sure Mac is sorry that he couldn’t do a better job of saving his family. Or is Blackburn apology somehow better then Macs? A liar is a liar last time I checked. Like I said once before, you can take Macs life, but you can’t take his pride

First off Jim Blackburn not only apologized but made restitution to his "victims".
Secondly, "Mac" has never apologized for anything.
Also, MacDonald could have done a better job of saving his family, by NOT MURDERING them.in the first place.
.James Blacburn is a useful member of society whereas MacDonald is a burden on the taxpayers who
support his sorry butt,

Mac needed to be released and he wouldn’t have been such a burden on society. The man , guilty or innocent, has done the time. Moving forward, keeping him in a cage, to protect society, is a waste of time. It’s nothing but a personal vendetta against a formerly successful man . I noticed that when describing Blackburn victims. You put in in quatations. Why ?

I’ll tell you why Blackburn ‘victims ‘was put in quotations. Either you feel it was a victimless crime or maybe, just maybe, Blackburn was a “ victim “ of a legal system out of control.

Why? Because Blackburn's "victims" may have lost money BUT they got it back.
MacDonald's victims were murdered. They can't get their lives back.
