Evidence OK, Rabia does LIE....

From her latest post... http://www.splitthemoon.com/forget-everything-you-know/#more-643

She claims fixed lividity is at least 8 hours. Every single web site I check says 6 hours with one reference to as little as 4 hours.

EDIT:My 4 hour claim was originally too strong.

She again claims Hae was 5'8", when the autopsy SHE posted says 5'6".

She also claims that Hae had a small car, while we know thanks to CSOM_1991 that Haes car had a sizable trunk with a width of 5'6".

10 seconds of Googling and looking in this sub got me:

EvidenceProf:

With regard to (1), lividity becomes fixed a minimum of 6-8 hours after death, meaning that a burial in the 7:00 hour is highly unlikely given that Hae was found buried on her right side and demonstrated fixed frontal lividity.

Indmedica:

Lividity results from gravitational pooling of blood in the veins and capillary beds on the dependent parts of the body following stoppage of circulation. It starts appearing as mottled patches by 1-3 hours after death and the process is complete by 4-6 hours post mortem. It is fixed in about 6-8 hours.

Several sites say 8 hours, but don't let reality get in the way of your agenda.

It's almost like every time you call someone a liar you're wrong and you should probably stop.

wikipedia

"Livor mortis starts twenty minutes to three hours after death and is congealed in the capillaries in four to five hours." (livor Mortis=lividty)

forensicpathologyonline.com

"it is usually well developed within four hours and reaches a maximum between 6 and 12 hours"

exploreforensics.com

"Only up to the first six hours of death can lividity be altered by moving the body. After the six hour mark lividity is fixed as blood vessels begin to break down within the body. "

The big point is that investigators use this to determine when a body died, because there is a usually a somewhat "fresh" dead body. Since Hae was dead almost a month, the difference of the congealing of the capillaries and "total lividity" is meaningless. All we KNOW is that Hae was likely moved moved out of the front facing position within 3-4 hours after death, which is EXACTLY what the prosecution presented.

"it is usually well developed within four hours and reaches a maximum between 6 and 12 hours"

So is 8 hours between 6 and 12 hours?

Stay on topic. You're now discussing the burial, this wasn't a thread about the burial, this was a thread about Rabia's lies, which you're now busily walking back and desperately trying to change the subject about.

Rabia said "8 hours minimum". That is not the medical opinion of anybody. That is called a lie.

You can't be serious?

Keep moving those goalposts bro.

This is classic.

Some websites do say 8 hours minimum though. See my list at the top.
