Defense continued

Addressing the scratches and swollen knuckle on Cooper…says Cooper was a motorcycle mechanic. Says that’s the reason for the scratches and injuries on his hands.

Says detectives didn’t take any pictures of his hands on the day of the 27th.

Says Cooper gave them permission to search his home and to take pictures of his hands when they searched the home (I believe this was on the 29th – two days after the murders). Those pictures are also on the gateway site – under photos.

Says Cooper was cutting the lining out of his jacket out in the open.
