When I attended some theater shooting hearings in October 2013, I was fortunate enough to hear testimony on the stand from multiple detectives and officers that were there that day. One person is FBI special agent, Garrett Gumbinner. Unfortunately, there are no media articles that state exactly what he said about that spine board, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. The spine board in question has been a debated topic as nobody understands why it was shoved underneath James Holmes' vehicle at the crime scene. I've always believed it to be suspicious because it's just thrown under there, almost as if to hide it. What is it doing there amongst delicate evidence? And don't forget about those shattered windows on the passenger side of the car. Was someone James inside that car incapacitated and needing to be broken out and carried?
Mr. Gumbinner stated during his testimony on the stand in October 2013 that he believed that it belonged to EMT and noticed some blood on it. He was about to search the vehicle for bombs so he didn't want to "track blood anywhere." What better place to put it than underneath the car that you're about to search for incendiary devices? That sure gets it out of the way! This wasn't the first time that Garrett Gumbinner had testified on the stand about that spine board. At the preliminary hearing in January 2013, Blue Thunderr wrote up a very detailed summary of what was said. Thank goodness for her because I would have never caught this major discrepancy otherwise, since there are no articles mentioning it. Anyway, she heard Gumbinner state that the spine board was put under the car so the bomb squad could look under it. Seems safe, no?
So, why the change of story by the same individual?
