"That's a lie" - Pyle about blood underneath the toolbox in Duncan, S.C.

Since the days following the discovery of Emily Anderson's body, folks wondered why it took transporting the truck back to Lenoir before finding Emily Anderson's body. Some critics say the transportation fouled up evidence and hurt the sheriff's office's case. This morning, Pyle testified they did not have the keys to the vehicle or the toolbox. He said the area was secured. He said himself and then-Capt. Jeff Stafford (now Major) examined the area. They walked around the truck, looked into the truck, Pyle testified. Pyle walked around the truck twice taking photos, he said. He testified he saw nothing out of the ordinary to make them believe they were working with a crime scene in that parking lot in Duncan, S.C. Lisa Dubs asked why Pyle didn't photograph the bed of the truck. Pyle said noting appeared out of the ordinary. Dubs asked why he ignored a pool of blood under the toolbox. He said there was no pool of blood under the toolbox in Duncan, S.C. He said, "that's a lie." However, when back in Lenoir photographs Pyle took revealed blood. Pyle says he has no theory how that blood got there, but he is certain it was not there in South Carolina. When Dubs pointed out to Pyle that the blood in the photograph looked dry and appeared to be chipping, he said he wasn't sure how that happened - maybe wind velocity, he said. But Pyle stuck to his testimony. He is certain that blood was not there in Duncan, S.C.
That's where the questioning came to and end before our lunch break. We saw more photos after the mid-morning break. Some where of Emily's Old Navy sweatshirt - where you could see the bullet holes; a cell phone that was damaged; about $30 in cash in her pocket; keys in her pocket; and grass and dirt in her boots.
We have an extended break until 2:30 today because one of the jurors had an appointment. So, I'm not sure if we will still recess at 3:30 or not, but I'll be back regardless sometime this afternoon. For now, I've got to get off my behind... These wooden benches aren't exactly like the living room sofa.
