Yes, Harry, a three-inch blade could inflict a five-inch wound. I have said as much before, and I have bolstered it with a scientific report saying as much. But a five inch wound made by a penknife will not have a doctor speaking about long and strong instruments.
Once again - but probably not for the last time - although it cannot be ruled out that Killeen made some sort of misjudgement in at least some aspect, it still remains that neither me or you, Harry, will offer any credible opposition to Killeen, considering the not irrelevant fact that none of us have seen the holes in Tabramīs body.
Killeen has the upper hand by any stretch, and his view had contemporary support in the papers, just as it remained unchallenged by any party. That speaks very clearly and unambiguosly about which stance is the sounder one in this affair. And anybody who challenges this, must be prepared to be looked upon as somebody who either has failed to understand this very basic truth, or who has other reasons to refuse to accept it.
Anybody is welcome to say that there was a chance that Killeen was wrong. Anybody is equally welcome to say that they have a hunch that this was in fact so. But nobody is welcome to say that the material speaks in favour of it, since that would be patently wrong. The material speaks in favour of two weapons, and that is not open to discussion, Iīm afraid.
The best,
Fisherman
