That blood splatter evidence is interesting. Where did you read about that?
It seems to me that blood splatter evidence on some parts of the trigger is really only consistent with the fact that Mr. Stanley’s finger was not covering the entire trigger at the time of the fatal shot (but to me that doesn’t suggest that his finger wasn’t on the trigger at all). However, if the blood splatter was on most or all of the trigger, that is consistent with there being no finger on the trigger.
Of course, that is only relevant to the murder charge (not the manslaughter charge).
