JB through.
Redirect by LDB of Inv. Bloise.
Regarding negative results of using Blue Star - they are negative for BLOOD.
Regarding his notes, he handwrites notes as he goes along. He then makes a report from his notes. He then destroys his notes pursuant to OCSO policy.
JB objected to leading and hearsay. Overruled as to hearsay, as to leading sustained.
Once he has written a report from the notes, he then destroys them based on Legal Bulletin 97-09, based on that legal decision.
The Defense individuals inspecting the vehicle took the contamination precautions. They only wore gloves, not hair nets.
Based on his 23 years of experience and 35 to 40 decomposed bodies, it is his opinion that the odor was human decomposition.
JB objects to witness not qualified - overruled.
Recross by JB.
Regarding the destroyed notes, they cannot be inspected by the Defense. Everything in his report is accurate to his handwriting.
He agreed that during cross exam he used the word decomposition. He agreed that it was because he could not determine the type. LDB asked him about his experience and he could say it was human decomposition.
Witness excused.
