I don't know what to think, Miley, for real.
I'd hate to say they were railroading her and RS from the start, but dang, we've gotten this far on the unlikely being likely. To know for certain what the intent was, we've gotta go back like I said before to the leader, and his experience with conducting investigations. Mignini being on trial for abuse of office says A LOT, in my opinion. The way he conducted other investigations says a lot, in my opinion. Did she do it on purpose?
She had to have done it on purpose. With mal-intent, I don't know. We see that the footprint analysis was done in the same way. They were suspect centered. We don't even have prints of others who lived in the house for comparison. It was as if they believed RF and LM for not being home, believed their alibis, which I do not know how air tight they were, but still didn't bother to take their footprints just to rule them out as being the ones in the hallway. I'd heard they hadn't even ruled MK's footprints out as possibly being in the hallway.
So when you don't take the inhabitants footprints and DNA just to rule it out as part of the evidence you have found, yes, you're being suspect-centric. When you compare the bloody footprint only to RS and RG, you are being suspect-centric.
Just like in a line-up, people who have nothing to do with the crime are asked to stand there while the victim or witness decides whom they saw at the crime. The footprints should have been the same way. I don't care if Mig himself volunteered his footprint to be slipped in for comparison. It needed to be done to keep the results unbiased.
Same with the DNA. It's possible that she matched up a DNA profile or two, then saw RS's profile and reevaluated her aelles to better match his. We dont know. I can see this happening. She could have thought, Oh, but if I excluded just these few, then "ding, ding ding!" RS's dna appears. That might be her reasoning for saying she didn't do it subject-centrically.
It might be that she did it without his profile first, saw that her results matched no one. Then went back, looked at RS's more (since he's in jail), and saw her "mistakes" in interpreting the DNA. Then she lined it up better with his by editing her results.
That's possible, which is also the reason she probably wanted to hide her files from the defense.
It's possible that she came up with several DNA profiles, scratched her head over it, because it made no sense that all these people had touched MK's bra clasp and she reworked it from there, thinking her first conclusions were errors. Afterward, she sought to hide the effort from the public.
All I can say for sure is that her stuff is wrong and she refused to release the files all the way through to this stage of the appeal. I find it hard to believe that Massei let her get away with that. Glad Hellman did not. Even Micheli severely defends her in RG's report.
My question is, how can they do that? did neither of them see the videos that we saw? Who could both judges have ignored the glaring mistakes in protocol? When you start asking questions like that....things start stinking....
Due to this expert report, the prosecution has become outnumbered. Independent experts that don't have anything to do with the case assert the same thing as the ind. experts appointed by Hellman. Additionally, the defense experts have been screaming the same thing for years. That's two against one, PLUS video and documented evidence that they botched the crime scene and that the experts can't even figure out how she drew her crazy conclusions. How could Hellman deny any of this as the other judges did?
