SC's Manual Dexterity

[Nicholas]

This is moving away from manual dexterity to hand eye coordination.   

What’s the difference between the two?

Manual dexterity aka fine motor skill

If you're uncoordinated it will affect your hand to eye dexterity! That's the point!

I believe manual dexterity aka as fine motor skill and hand eye coordination are completely different skill sets.

Eg SC may have had very good manual dexterity/fine motor skill in applying her nail polish but may have had very poor hand eye coordination in say playing racquet sports.

[Holly Goodhead]

Another example of manual dexterity/fine motor skill is handwriting.

Do we have any examples of SC's handwriting?  I believe she wrote a number of letters during her last stay at St Andrews and after her discharge on 29th Mar?

Only one of the witnesses mentions her not walking normally.

Of course, all these people were (presumably) interviewed by CAL? If so, it was years after the event, and I wonder how accurate their memories were. I also wonder how often they saw Sheila, and how well they knew her.

They also spoke to the police at the time, back in 1985, I believe, and when such a horrific event such as that occurs you don’t forget the tiniest of details, however many years pass, trust me.

CAL’s extremely thorough and detailed book was excellently researched and one thing she didn’t do was embellish to create intrigue and drama: it didn’t need embellishing — it was horrific enough.

They are different skills that's why they have different names.

Have you ever considered working for the innocent project Holly?

No.  I'm happy here and doing my own thing behind the scenes.

I don't.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Prosecution witnesses claimed SC suffered poor coordination and as such she was unable to load the magazine and operate the rifle.  This formed part of the prosecution case at trial:

Sheila Caffell also had very poor co-ordination and would not have been capable of loading and operating the rifle

What evidence exists to support this?

The evidence to support this was presumably presented and tested in a court of law where a jury found the defendant guilty, but you want even more evidence?  How much evidence do you require in order to be satisfied that something you had previously doubted is indeed true, or is it a case that no amount of evidence will ever help change your mind?

They are part of the same processes.

As you age, your ability to perform tasks with the same amount of accuracy and speed as when you were younger declines. This includes reaction time and dexterity, two important elements of hand-eye coordination.

Hm. That certainly rings a bell !

Ah! I'm sure there's nowt wrong with your dexterity!  Point being though - they are interrelated.
