now that jodi has said she thinks she put the knife in the dishwasher and that it was TA's, and in any case did not take it with her, will JM call one of the crime scene people to establish whether the knives in TA's home were tested? i don't remember them saying they tested knives in his house after the murder. if so, i missed it.
but isn't this important to establish that the knife used in the murder wasn't in the house and wasn't one of his knives?
If there is evidence one way or the other, either ruling out the knives in Travis' house or ruling them in as possible murder weapons, then Juan might call the forensic techs in his rebuttal case. As far as I remember there has been no testimony that conclusively excludes those knives -- all I remember is that there was testimony that there were no knives missing from Travis' house. I also don't remember any testimony about whether there were knives missing from the grandparents' house -- but the fact is Jodi could have gotten a knife from anywhere and disposed of it just like she disposed of the gun. It's not as easy to track a missing knife like it is a .25 auto pistol.
