Capt: 15 locations matched. Christina morris could not be excluded as contributor from other swabs #arochitrial
 
I think Detective Stamm's testimony is being taken out of context at this point, IMO. She testified that she absolutely believes that Enrique killed Christina. She also testified that the DNA in the trunk does not necessarily indicate injury or assault. She is using logical reasoning to opine that the amount of DNA in the trunk of the last person that saw Christina leads her to believe that she was in his trunk, not as a willing passenger, and was likely killed. No big leaps in her reasoning.

I'm talking about what was said before now - before the trial. I'd have to search and find it but depending on what is said in the next little bit in the trial I will search for it. It wasn't in this thread.

AFAIK, Stamm hasn't testified yet in trial. I am referring to the bond reduction hearing, which is what I linked to.

Could be. But I'm going to be the "annoying one" as usual. The question is...was it 100% without a doubt BLOOD dna? If it was blood/urine something of that nature they can say she was without a doubt in the trunk. If it was, say, vomit, defense can be ridiculous and say something like "Oh maybe EA opened his trunk to put something in while they were in the garage and she threw up in it, doesn't mean she was in there".

I realize I sound ridiculous. But while extremely rare, people have went free on more damning evidence than this.

Both trunk mat swabs also compared to DNA profiles for Morris' parents -those also consistent with their biological child #arochitrial

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 5m5 minutes ago McKinney, TX
Capt: DNA from mat also compared to DNA from Morris parents & Morris can't be excluded. Essentially meaning a match @FOX4 #arochitrial

Scott Sidway ‏@ScottyWK 5m5 minutes ago McKinney, TX
This is the first witness testimony confirming DNA match between Morris (or child of parents) to Arochi's trunk mat. #ArochiTrial

Hannah VanHuss Davis ‏@hannahdinhd 5m5 minutes ago
Prosecution asking ab where the DNA came from... bodily fluids v. "touch DNA" DNA transferred by touching something #arochitrial


Scott Sidway ‏@ScottyWK 4m4 minutes ago McKinney, TX
Capt testifying it's unlikely but possible for DNA to be found on something like a handshake. #ArochiTrial

Capt testifies amount of DNA from 2 spots of trunk mat suggests it was more likely from bodily fluids vs touch DNA #arochitrial


Scott Sidway ‏@ScottyWK 2m2 minutes ago McKinney, TX
Capt: use an FBI database. FBI revised database, fixed some numbers used on population reports, Capt revised report to reflect #arochitrial

Hannah VanHuss Davis ‏@hannahdinhd 2m2 minutes ago
Expert adds this isn't definitive - rather an opinion based on experience with DNA. #arochitrial #christinamorris

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 1m1 minute ago
If DNA in trunk was from touch, not bodily fluid, would need to be prolonged like wearing a shirt not likely from "brief touch" #ArochiTrial

IIRC there was confusion about what she actually meant at the previous hearing, I guess it may have been a case of confusing reporting. I thought she's said that the amount of DNA and the conclusion that Christina was dead had a direct link but more likely you have the correcct interpretation

Likelihood DNA pulled from trunk belonged to anyone other than the child of #christinamorris' parents... is 1 in 230 billion #arochitrial

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 3m3 minutes ago
Genetic results from Arochi's trunk mat are 230 billion times more likely biological child of #ChristinaMorris parents than not #ArochiTrial

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 3m3 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Capt: The odds are almost indisputable the DNA could match anyone else. #arochitrial

Scott Sidway ‏@ScottyWK 3m3 minutes ago McKinney, TX
"The observed generic results are 230 billion times more likely" to be Morris than someone random, per report. #arochitrial

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 1m1 minute ago
#ChristinaMorris "cannot be excluded" as a contributor of the DNA from samples found in Arochi's trunk, a "very rare profile." #ArochiTrial

So the swab had Christina's DNA, an unknown male, and another unknown person. Who is the third person????? Did anyone catch that?
