EXAMINER'S NOTE: Regarding the red stain on the edge of the Esquire magazine, Exhibit L, attention is directed to paragraph 14 of the Preliminary Labora- tory Report in which it is reported that the red stain is in fact blood and is of the International Blood Group Type A or AB.
During the crime scene process, this magazine was found in one of the two stacks which contained books, magazines and a cardboard box which was under the edge of the coffee table located in the living room in front of the sofa.
The blood stain appeared to have been made by a person's finger due to its shape. However, it cannot be positively stated that it was made by a person's finger since definite ridge pattern formation was precluded by the separations of the individual pages.
