This is why I wanted to specifically focus my attentions (first) on the forensic evidence. Because eyewitnesses can be wrong, and defendants can change their stories, and behavior is subjective as to it's meaning, but blood, hair, fibers, fingerprints, body fluids, etc. are what they are. They can either be matched to someone or they cannot. If (big if) their chain-of-possession is properly documented and maintained, and if the samples were collected and preserved and tested correctly, then forensic evidence is among the strongest (if not THE strongest) evidence in most cases, including this case. Of course there needs to be assurance that all protocols were stringently followed at all times or else an item of evidence's value can be worthless.
