The exit hole was the smallest file size in the photo series. It may have been intentionally dimmed to hide detail. I enhanced it, and saw it was actually the bottom of a recliner. And the supposed bullet exit hole appeared to be a slit created by a serrated knife, pushed in and pulled out from the bottom. Like the cheese knork on the recliner. Why not document the bullet where you find it while the loveseat is lifted? The reason is the loveseat was never lifted, and the bullet was placed in front of it after seeing the hole. There is a TV remote control on the edge of the loveseat. It rests against the separate raised divider section, otherwise it would fall off. After they supposedly found the bullet, the TV controller was in the exact same position where it was photographed on December 14th photo 237. Two detectives and a tech cannot lift a loveseat, then put it back down and push it back against the wall, without disturbing that controller. That loveseat was never lifted. But we already knew the marked bullet could not have come through that hole, to be found under that section. I went to a furniture store, stuck calipers under a similar sofa, and got thrown out of the store. I discovered the metal wire of the zig-zag spring that supports the seat, matched the width in millimeters of the series of identical marks in the bullet. So the bullet tumbled horizontally and tore through four or five turns of the zig-zag spring. It then hit another one or two things that made a slightly different dent in the metal jacket. Probably the back of the frame. I confirmed there is no direction the shot could have arrived from, through the soft edge of Mulrenin's leg, and no combination of ricocheting and tumbling, that could have created that small exit hole directly under the entrance hole, and also those five or six hard marks on the bullet, and then come to rest gently on the carpet. The exit hole is too small for the bullet which would have been tumbling and exited at an angle. The bullet would have traveled away from the area of the entrance hole to get all those marks, and then exited somewhere else on the sofa, closer to the final hard object it collided with. Since the loveseat is down and against the wall before the bullet is photographed, Smolarek claims they picked up the bullet and carried it around the room. They then put the loveseat back in place, before putting the bullet back down and photographing it. So we know the bullet was in detectives’ hands, when they told Smolarek "Come over here and take photographs like you are approaching the sofa and find a bullet under it." They made a great effort not to document the bullet before the hole, even though Smolarek she claimed at trial she did not yet suspect it was a bullet hole. What if that L-shaped tear hadn't been there? Would they have looked for another hole, or made one, before putting the bullet in front of it and taking a photograph? Smolarek then staged a storyboard of 8 photographs in under a minute at 1:28 PM (DST). This minute supposedly included lifting the loveseat, finding the bullet, putting the loveseat back down, and holding the camera. It is reminiscent of the gun-in-drawer storyboard, the cash-in—box storyboard which also comes out-of—sequence, and the gloves-in-car sequence where the gloves are staged next to a bag of trash. Where Sprague was standing wearing gloves, in a photograph by Lieutenant Murphy. The TV controller tells us the loveseat section was never lifted, the markings tell us the bullet did not go through that hole, and the order of photographs shows us the bullet was known to exist before the center section was photographed with the bullet in front of it. So we know detectives had the bullet in their hands before the loveseat was ever lifted. So we know when Smolarek placed the bullet in front of the loveseat and took it into her glove, she was staging evidence, not photographing it when and where it was found. By enhancing the photo of the exit hole, we also see it is in the bottom of a recliner. The metal parts match the levers and joints under the end section where the blood is. The exit hole was also photographed out of order with Smolarek’s story, much later than the loveseat section and bullet. In fact, the supposed exit hole was photographed after the end recliner section was raised and photographed. I could not find a matching Haining Happy Leather or Homelegance theater sectional from 2014 where the loveseat was a recliner. So the photographed exit hole with recliner mechanics is probably not under the loveseat where Smolarek said she found it. And the two holes cannot go straight through, as Smolarek claimed, under oath. Smolarek’s claimed order of events is: III - 55
