“The child would not lose consciousness, but there would be no struggle - the body would jello.”<P>That “jelloing”would explain why she “allowed” someone to wrap the cord around her neck and strangle her without fighting or struggling – evidenced by the hair caught in the cord’s knotting and the “almost completely horizontal with slight upward deviation from the horizontal towards the back of the neck” ligature furrow.<P>But query how she was able to scratch at her throat (which, btw, there is no forensic evidence that she did; it's nothing more than speculation made by amateurs using distorted generational copies of crime scene photos) if she was “jelloing” throughout the fabrication of the garrote around her neck and the actual strangulation.<BR>
