bleeding from the inside, but rather had been applied from the outside.  They corresponded to the heavy Type A blood that was in the same location on Zeigler's long-sleeved outer shirt.

MacDonell noticed dark staining, which he called "gunshot residue or grease," at the entrance hole in the front of the T-shirt.  Around the exit hole, he said, were "bloodstains below it quite heavy from the inside.  They are internally generated from bleeding inside this garment.  They don't even hardly come through."

The blood splatters on Mays's sweatshirt suggested that his right arm had been stretched out, as it was found, when he was beaten.

No bloody footprints similar to Mays's sneakers were found in the store.

MacDonell said that he had examined Mays's clothes only a week before, and had discovered fine splatters on the inside of Mays's undershorts.  He now believed that Mays's undershorts had been down around his knees, pulled inside out over the top of his pants, when he was being beaten.

MacDonell told Davids that he could not explain the blood splatters on the back of Zeigler's shirt.  They had not been transferred from the floor.  Davids asked him whether the blood could have been thrown there from a beating that occurred nearby: the defense contended that someone else had beaten Mays to death after Zeigler was shot.  MacDonell said yes, it was possible.  The spots were irregular, they had not dripped down from above, and they were not typical cast-off blood from a beating, but they had not occurred from Zeigler's pressing his back against a bloody surface.

Davids asked about the blood droplets on the inside of Eunice Zeigler's buttoned overcoat.  MacDonell admitted that the coat probably would have had to be open when the blood fell there.

Davids did not ask a single question about MacDonell's footprint tests, or his conclusions.  The defense was unprepared to confront any evidence that contradicted Tom Delaney.

Mattie Mays and Thomas Hale followed MacDonell.

Mrs. Mays's testimony was virtually the same that she had given before the grand jury.  Once again she said that her husband had left home between 6:30 and 6:45 when he drove to the furniture store that evening.

Hale repeated his statement that he was parked at the intersection of Dillard Street and Route 50 around 7:05 when he saw Tommy with Eunice, turning north onto Dillard.  He admitted to Hadley that he had identified Zeigler's old car as the one Tommy was driving that evening.
