Here is an experiment I did, and you can try yourself. Sit down and relax your leg, and bend it at the knee. Tie a tight string around your lower thigh just above the knee, where Mulrenin's exit wound was. Then stand up and straighten your leg out and put weight on it. When I do this, it opens up about two inches of slack in the string compared to when I was sitting. The circumference of my lower thigh changes when I stand up and walk. So it makes sense a cable tie used to compress Mulrenin's exit wound would fall off as he walks and his lower thigh gets narrower than when it was being wrapped. You can also compare the circumference of the string you tied around your leg to the closed cable tie on Mulrenin's floor, and the repeating loop of duct tape by his door. You will see it is the same. Now tie duct tape around your wrists and ankles, and you will see the loop is much smaller. The duct tape looks like it also had some toilet paper stuck to it to absorb blood, and there is a loose roll of toilet paper on Mulrenin's bathroom counter a few feet away. I told Mandi on the jail phone how a cottonmouth snake had been trying to get the rats that try to get my dog food. I told her if my dogs got bitten, I would take them to the vet. Mandi said she didn't think they would make it to the vet because they don’t have enough blood. She said my dogs are so small they are not like you and me. People have more blood relative to the amount of venom. The total volume of blood my dogs have is very small. I was surprised to hear that Mandi had some concept of how much blood is in a person, and that there might not be enough of it, and that it is the primary factor of whether you live or die. People where I live talk about dogs and farm animals getting bitten by snakes every week. None of them ever mention their thoughts on the volume of blood different animals have, and whether it is enough to survive a snake bite. They talk about the size of the snake, how much venom different age snakes release, and the type of animal, as being factors. But they never mention the volume of blood in the animal that gets bitten, as being a factor, much less the primary factor. So Mandi may have been the one who thought Mulrenin did not have enough blood to survive, and recommended a tourniquet . Then Mulrenin stood up for some reason. Maybe he had labyrinthitis from cocaine and an eye infection, and he had the spins, and sitting down was distressful. I got an ear infection swimming in Biscayne Bay in November 2010. It felt like I was spinning front to back. When I tried to sit down it was very distressful, because it felt like I was falling over backwards. So I had an impulse to stand up and go forward, to counteract the spinning. Maybe something like that caused Mulrenin to stand up. Maybe he just had enough of drunk stoned girls, and bisexual guys with beards who think they are in the military, and tourniquets. I forgot to mention that Scott's first baby mama said Scott was bisexual in prison and still liked to shower with men. Maybe Scott got a quick crush on Mulrenin, some kind of "band of brothers" thing. That would make me run. Maybe Mulrenin simply stood up because it was time to go, or to test if he could walk with the tape. Maybe Scott Love told him to stand up, so he could find the bullet under the sofa and not leave it as evidence. A neighbor below heard furniture being moved at this time. I believe Scott went to the kitchen to find something to get the bullet out of the sofa. First he grabbed the large tongs, which are seen lying on the kitchen floor. But that was idiotic, and the next thing he found was the serrated cheese knork. Scott could have cut into the sofa after Mandi left. But the neighbor heard fumiture being moved (which he only later said was "on the balcony" after finding out what happened), and nobody was paying attention to Mulrenin. So I believe they tried duct tape twice, but it went slack when Mulrenin stood up. So they stuck the cable tie on there, and then Mulrenin stood up and Scott went to get the bullet out of the sofa. I believe Scott Love turned the recliner upside down, and started to cut into it with the serrated cheese knork police found on the sofa. That is the cut in the bottom of the recliner which Smolarek said was the bullet exit hole in the loveseat. That is when Mulrenin went out onto the balcony alone, and completely unexpectedly and out of the blue to Scott and Mandi, went over. Then Mandi ran out to her car, and Scott pulled up the carpet looking for the bullet, and put the recliner back in place. NOTE: NEW TIMING ANALYSIS IN APPENDIX A “ON THE BALCONY” I know the tape and cable tie was used to bind Mulrenin's wound for several reasons. First, the repeating loop of the tape is the exact average circumference of a caucasian man's thigh Mulrenin's height, weight, and health condition. I got the data from a scientific study study that tried to predict cardiovascular disease in Swedish men based on their thigh circumference. And the tape had blood spots, in the exact spots where blood would be if it went around his IV-90
