The source is unnamed, and it's possible that information isn't accurate. If there is blood on the bat, his statements in court today were supremely stupid. His defense doesn't make any sense of there is blood on the bat from hitting her. If it can be shown--Dexter style--that the blood was transferred from the bathroom floor, for example, then his statements in court would make sense as part of a logical defense.
