Care to debate facts anyone? PA, you reading?

The Smell

So much of the enormous media noise around the instant case has to do with the smell of a decaying body which both the prosecution and the defense agreed in court was impossible to sustain for any period in time, let along months and months.
Yet the closet in which the body was supposedly decaying was about 4 feet away from the room in which all the activity (reading, sleeping, love making and desk work) took place in the apartment.
Two women testified to having spent extensive time in the apartment during the time when others reported a smell outside and in other parts of the building.
They were not restricted in their movements in any way.  They smelled nothing.
Many other men and women, including a police detective, were in the apartment subsequent to the time that the Commonwealth has always insisted that the death took place.
They were not called to testify, by the defense as the time of death was fixed in stone by the indictment and their testimony would not have added anything to the situation.
There was no smell in the apartment itself.
Impossible, if a body had decayed there.
Also not a drop of blood was found in the apartment or on Holly’s clothes.
Add all this to five sightings of a dead woman 6 months after her death; The withholding of these sightings:
A judge who says ignore the time of death.
Also, during the trial, a long discussion about a fire escape next to the door – a red herring – as the actual fire escape door, in the kitchen, was left off the drawing of the apartment, by the man who spent eighteen hours in the apartment.
And the real kicker: Holly was found with keys to the apartment in her pocket.
There was no problem about bringing a body into the apartment as the deceased had keys to the apartment on her person.
The smell, as with so many other aspects of the case, does not point to the defendant, but into other directions that the neglected and now lost fingerprints reinforce.
