84

And that is, in fact,
the blood of the victim.
85

Now, doesn't that suggest
that the state has the right man?
86

I thought so, until I heard hour 217
of Mr. Chambers' police interview.

say, "I hate blood.

"I had a tooth pulled as a child once
and it would not stop bleeding."

is going mad, and I'm trying to figure out

00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,521
if Thomas Chambers' family
has a history of hemophilia.

So, I asked his father
and, uh, his father said no.

But there is a strain of hemophilia,
hemophilia A,

so rare that it is never tested for.

Mr. Chambers tested positive
for hemophilia A.
97
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,364
His hands may have touched the victim,
perhaps to aid her, as he claims.
98
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,730
If his hands had been the murder weapon,
if he had been scratched or bitten,

The NFL did what every organization does.
871
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,280
They put together a commission
to study the study.
872
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:55,081
Dr. Elliot Pellman's
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee.

- Dr. Maroon.
- Joe, yeah, he was on there.

in arthritis and joint pain.

There's been a change

Hangs over my head
1581
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:16,804
I search for peace
1582
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:21,924
In the midst of it all
1583
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:29,851
What we had
1584
01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:35,601
In those old photographs
1585
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:42,931
