From the article you linked, Blondie:
One pathologist called by the defense said Leila's autopsy lacks crucial information on her injuries, making the identification a murder weapon virtually impossible.
"The (autopsy) report was brief in terms of totality. ... There's insufficient documentation characterizing some of the wounds," said Terri Haddix, a forensic pathologist with more than 20 years experience. "Even the wounds thought to be fatal aren't specifically gone into detail."
[.....]
Prosecutors and defense attorneys dispute the time of Leila’s death. Defense attorneys say she was attacked and died around noon.
“There would’ve been no time for [IF] to clean up had he done it,” Reichel said. “He would’ve had blood all over him.”
Prosecutors say they believe [IF] attacked Leila in the morning and cleaned up the scene before calling his father and stepmother around noon to inform them of the crisis.
The defense maintains Leila’s wounds wouldn’t have enabled her to live for hours after the stabbing.
