Is next week going to continue with them talking about the mystery of the blood results of Henri Paul? I know his parents will be there on Monday...anyone else who can possibly explain the weird results (how close they are, how they can still be too high etc)
To summarize simply the blood results.
The blood tests and DNA testing show that scientifically Henri Paul had a high blood alcohol level and it was his blood tested as there was a positive DNA match with his mother. Now the legal team representing his parents need to try and discredit this scientific testing and put as much doubt as possible in the jurors' minds as whether or not it was accurate.
This is being done with the blood samples taken on August 31st from his chest cavity, the labelling of the samples was not done satisfactorily so there's a possibility here for the lawyers representing al Fayed and Henri Paul's parents to plant seeds of doubt in the jurors' minds. And the lawyers have spent hours on presenting this evidence with al Fayed hiring his own forensic experts to testify.
But other blood samples were taken from Henri Paul's body from his femoral artery on Sept 4th, with these samples ( again DNA matched with Mme Paul) there was no problem with the labelling or the 'chain of custody' and the results here are not being questioned by the al Fayed team ( this includes the Paul lawyers) the results are not being questioned as there's nothing there that can be disputed. So these are the results the lawyer for the Metropolitan police keeps summarizing with after the hours of testimony discrediting the Aug 31st test results. Both the Aug 31st and Sept 4th results show high levels of alcohol and are a DNA match with Mme Paul.
The other thing that is being questioned in the carbon monoxide levels in the blood samples.
The samples taken on Aug 31st show a high level of carbon monoxide in the blood. The conspiracy theorists say that's because the blood was not that of Henri Paul's but of a suicide victim at the morgue at the time. But the sample was DNA matched to Henri Paul, also while there were other bodies at the morgue waiting to be autopsied the only autopsy carried out on the Sunday Aug 31st was Henri Paul's, no other samples were taken from other bodies.
But the blood sample taken on Sept 4th shows carbon monoxide levels at the normal level for someone who was a heavy smoker, which Henri Paul was as he smoked unfiltered cigarellos.
Why the carbon monoxide levels were high in the Aug 31st test cannot be explained scientifically, the forensic scientists have tried to come up with an explanation, but there is no biological reason for it, was the testimony. Therefore a probability is that the reading itself was a false one.
The lawyers for Henri Paul need to try and get the jurors to discount the blood result as they show that he had high levels of alcohol in his blood. Since science has established this fact the lawyers have to try and bring in doubt by attacking the way the Aug 31st blood results were collected. They are not addressing the Sept 4th results as there's nothing for them to discredit, but the fact is Henri Paul had high concentrations of alcohol and DNA has proved it was his blood tested. ( as well as a sample of his liver)
. I'm completely aware that she was responsible for some of the press harassment. Although, like Henri Paul, she's dead so it's tricky to make them pay their part of guiltiness.
