On cross-examination, defense lawyer Jenny Cheung drew out an important distinction about the DNA recovered from the scene by using a basketball metaphor to trace out how easily genetic material can travel from one place to another.
“Steph Curry passes to Kevin Durant, who shoots, makes a three-pointer,” Cheung asked Razzano. “[Durant] goes to get his water bottle. It's possible for Steph Curry to get DNA on that bottle?"
Razzano replied that it was indeed possible, and that “DNA can be transferred from place to place,” meaning that DNA found at a crime scene did not necessarily mean that person was present. Throughout the trial, defense attorneys have tried to tease out that both Lewis and Vetrano were patrons of Gino’s, a pizza place that Vetrano visited minutes before her final run. Lewis’s lawyers were satisfied with the cross-examination and chose not to call their own DNA expert to testify.
