Not a word about the jeans - except that they were collected - was mentioned during the trial by either side...my guess is that the prosecution & defense concluded that they had no evidentiary value. In fact, both sides could have tested the jeans...we don't really know, because they weren't admitted into evidence.
As far as what it says on Darlie's website, well, I'm very skeptical John Rolater told the Dallas Morning News (8/04) that "in September 2002, the district attorney's office offered to have evidence tested by an agreed-upon expert, but the defense did not accept the offer...in October 2002, the court granted an order giving the defense access to evidence, but the defense never followed up on the order." Stephen Cooper called the prosecution claims "an absolute lie."
It all depends on which side you believe.
Hum . . . ummmmmmmm . . . which side do I believe :waitasec: :waitasec: . . . hard to pick a side, but I guess I go with the prosecution.
