They didn't mention jewelry they might have been wearing, but I'd think JK was likely wearing a wedding ring and perhaps VB had an engagement ring or something. I hope if they were wearing them that those are among the personal effects that were recovered. Their families have lost so much, they should at least have those special items to hold onto going forward. What a sad case this is.

The Patrick Frazee trial, for the murder of Kelsey Berreth, is another example. In that case, this was resolved by granting the defense an expert of their choosing to observe the testing done in the CBI lab.I thought it odd the defense in one Motion doesn't want testing of evidence but yet in another Motion the defense doesn't want to give up evidence.
So I have been researching what the term CONSUMPTIVE TESTING OF EVIDENCE means.
Apparently, from various searching I looked into, it is evidence so small that the testing itself can ruin the evidence, thus this evidence cannot be tested again. Also, it often refers to DNA samples that are so small that testing ruins the DNA sample so only one test can be run.
It is possible in this specific case that the defense wants to be in charge of testing CONSUMPTIVE EVIDENCE and get their own results before the evidence is rendered useless for testing.
The Daybell case specifically mentions this subject.

As the name implies, consumptive testing means testing what remains of DNA and leaving little to none of the original DNA evidence. The original DNA samples are quite small. Once the testing is done, there won’t be any more DNA left to do another test.

As outlined in court, the expert for the defense would be allowed to witness the sample prep, DNA extract and quantification of the evidence. If there is enough evidence to split the piece of evidence in two, guidelines would call for the expert to leave because the defense can then do its own testing of the other portion of the sample.Judge rules that testing can begin on piece of tooth found at Frazee property
Prosecutor Jennifer Viehman confirmed the piece of evidence was a piece of a tooth that was recovered from the Frazee property.
Frazee’s defense team had motioned to record the testing on video, but they withdrew that request. They did request that if the evidence was split, that they could perform their own testing on the tooth fragment.
