JB w/Lowe
@ end of day science will say consistent w/decomp but not sure ever get to the day that they will say this hair came from a dead body....
if a hair been associated......similar to a hair in hairbrush belonging to Caylee but couldn't exclude all others.....told belonging to Caylee...don't know if kc and caylee used the same brush? identified as Caylee brush....
given any info about CA giving a brush (object- sustained)
idenfication of the hair who belong to would have been critical to the case.....common enviornment...how other hairs may have been there....
can do nuclear dna test if tissue present.....
missing child with hair w/banding @ root.....
not sent to (object-sustained)
never sent hair for nuclear dna - no tissue present.....not a dna analyst (object-sustaiend) you are not the one makes that call....actually part of Ms. Lowe job....if she is unsure of a hair with very small amt of tissue she will ask conference w/dna anaylst....if dna could have been obtained from that area.....
best we have it could have belonged to kc, Caylee, CA or even SP (CA's mom)
hair in common enviornment.....hairs in trunk is not uncommon ... avg person looses over 100 hairs per day....shed one hair to another called transfer.....
if one transfer hair to someone and then onto another person - secondary transfer....
I don't know if hairs are primary or secondary transfer.
if there are more hairs ....large number of hairs in an area suggest primary but cannot say secondary transfer
primary or 2ndary transfer with only 1 hair.....can't say how hair got there.....consistent with contact or transfer but don't know.....
Redirect-
JA=long standing FBI policy ....statement in reports as far back as 70's hairs are not positive identifcation....as soon as Mito-dna started use that to confirm.....Lowe's report came out a year before FBI had that language.....
this hair may have not been forcibly removed....this is not a naturally shed hair....still in growth stage part of kerotin is soft.....found one hair with post-mortem hair band....mito dna is method ....child, child mother, anyone maternal..grandmother .....maternal uncle....eliminates other maternal relatives under microscopic exam.....in this case did you eliminate kc? that hair is microscopically dissimilar to kc......could be another relative with 9" long light brown hair.....potentially not a blond hair member of maternal family....that hair (Q-12) was not treated.....hair from hair brush......naturally shed hair? look at notes.....did that hair have root band found in Q-12- did not......whatever happend.....assuming Q-12 is Caylee hair and hairbrush hair of Caylee .....whatever happened to her hair was not natural to the hair ....
JB- cross:
a pulled hair ......object sustained
don't know how long that hair had been in that condition.....don't know history of kc hair treatments....don't know....all can base it on ....only known sample.....
characteristics but that is all I can say w/certainty
witness excuse:
