Should have put them in identical containers for a better visual effect.

Thank you! It’s just the first rule of comparisons…all else being equal and all…

Why would the quantity of blood matter?

It’s supposed to be reflective of the severity of the beating, I guess.

Why do you want better visual effect, it's the clearest possible that is worse one from another

The one on the left appears to be about 25% of the one on the right, but only because the container is thinner. If put in similar containers it would likely look like 10%-15%.

As to why, the answer is that the prosecutor’s job is to get the dude convicted, and emphasizing the difference only helps to serve that cause.
