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).

I wasnt at the trial, just going by the defence lawyers closing remarks.

Spencer began his closing remarks by joking that “the good news is this is probably the last time you’ll hear from me.”
“The rest of it is bad. This whole situation is bad, and sad, so sad.”
He began by pointing to the expert testimony. With respect to the Tokarev pistol, Spencer noted blood on the trigger, consistent with evidence that Stanley’s finger was not on the trigger when Colten Boushie was shot.
