I used to manage laboratory draw stations and a couple of stat labs and learned to draw blood. The vial tops self seal after release from the vacutainer. First, there would be plenty of blood in the vial to create 6 smears or drops. Second, the most likely explanation for a hole in the top is...

There is a very good reason the rules of evidence in many states and on the federal level don't simply allow character evidence in and prior bad acts without some scrutiny as to what purpose they are being offered and if they meet certain criteria. Even then, they are subject to inadmissibility...

A. There was no luring. True, SA made the appointment in the name of B. Janda. He requested “that same girl.” However, when TH spoke to her co-worker that day, she said she was on her way to the Avery property – she’d been there 5 times prior. She didn’t say she was going to the Janda...

They had access to his home for days. The DNA could come from a comb with grease from his head, which is sebum and contains secreted DNA. Since the source of the DNA has either not been determined or was not disclosed, it's possible. Very possible.

Thanks to you both and all - that explains why in the doc. Jodi kept saying she couldn't drink. I was wondering at the time if that was a self imposed rule because she was an alcoholic or what. Now it's clear. She was getting the book thrown at her, deservedly so.

Well here's what I don't get: #1 says motive. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals denied based on no motive for 3rd parties in prong 1 - yet - what was SA's motive once you remove the sexual assault charges? The prosecution doesn't even have to provide a motive and they have the weight of the...

Thanks for that. ...based on a case from 1891? There are two more recent cases: Chambers v Mississippi 410 U.S. 284 (1973). Holmes v South Carolina 547 U.S. 139 (2006) In researching this - I found an excellent and thorough examination of these cases. It examines how these cases left the...

Yes, that was his cousin. When the officers executed the warrant for SA's vehicle, Brendan and his other brother (not Bobby, forgot his name suddenly) were driving the car. When pulled over, they were put in separate LE vehicles and officer O'Neill and another officer "interviewed" Brendan and...

It's all in the transcripts. Room dimensions - number of searches...you should try reading them. It would clear up so many of your questions.

No handcuffs or leg irons were burned and none of them had any of TH's DNA on them. They are completely irrelevant as regards to Barb for sure. Relevant for SA, but only for the limited purpose of method or scheme. Relevant as to how BD could be led to talk about such devices that LE...

That day's two previous customers did not testify in Dassey - both attorneys stipulated to their testimony in lieu of them appearing. See their "testimony" at this link post #1134...

Good point. I remember reading in the transcripts about how the burn pit looked when they discovered it and where the van seat was. I seem to recall it was off to the side, now that you brought this up! I'll go back and look at the transcripts.

Yes, this is true. In a burn barrel they found burned remnants TH's Motorola Razor phone, her Canon camera and palm pilot. KEVIN HEIMERL From Dassey transcript Day 2 / Direct Examination of Witness (Arson investigator) Day 2 / Page 43 “Q: Um, the 7th, that would be Monday, the 7th of...

I binge watched too - and then, binge researched to try and find the "whole" story too! I never trust one side of the story. I haven't found much to change my mind that the trials were unjust. Beyond the much discussed coerced confession, invalid tests and results - what about the prevention...

I'm glad you brought up Jodi! Who does 7 months in jail for a DUI? And yes, it seems like they abused their power and used the no contact order to harass them both. In addition, they kept trying to get her to turn on SA, and when that didn't pan out, set their sites on Brendan. I realize...

Doesn't explain how he could plan for the very investigators (who have been proven in fact, to have railroaded him for a rape charge in the past), to find the inculpating evidence. In addition, how could he have planned that they would find it after at least 4 (in reality more) searches had...

Again, as other posters have mentioned, most here are not proclaiming his innocence, just the fact that everyone deserves a fair trial and there is some evidence of impropriety, conflict of interest and prejudice. It's not so unreasonable given that they actually DID railroad him in the rape...

A criminal mastermind could not remove every trace of a homicide victim from his premises, which is asserted was the scene of the crime. Brendan also said he cut Teresa's hair. No hair, blood - nada - could be detected in SA's trailer, garage, clothing, furniture, or vehicle. How could he...

The only reason those preparations take place is to comply with environmental regulations. [Edited to add] And so that the crushed material has value and is sellable. Are you saying that SA would commit murder but not violate environmental regulations? Seems odd.

In trial transcripts from BD's trial, Leslie Eisenberg testified at length, as did a colleague, that two pieces of skull found in the charred remains exhibited malformations both on the inside and outside of the skull that, to their scientific or medical certainty, were consistent with a gunshot...
