Meaning?
Hi,
what is the meaning of "There's a pool of blood on the floor" in the following text?
During the morning recess, Kiley lingered in the corridor outside the court room, watching from afar as two Grace lawyers escorted Barbas into a small alcove. He saw Barbas standing mute, looking sadly at his shoes, while the lawyers pressed close and whispered to him. Kiley smiled. "There's a pool of blood on the floor," he told Schlichtmann afterwards.
Thanks

Without context, one possibility is that Kiley believes Barbas is guilty of the violent crime for which he's being tried and vigorously defended by his lawyers. With more context this could mean something completely different.
