I think they just cut the feed? Time for the news in FL.

This isn't going to end today anyway. We will stop todays testimony with the defense lawyer questioning the DNA expert. imo

 

[Lovejac]

Thanks Jewels. I'm going to see if I can find a working one. BRB

"possible, but highly unlikely" testing under today's standards would find a different profile than she found in 2009, DNA expert says.

The test kit used now is more sensitive than the test kit used in this case, DNA expert testifies in #McTearTrial

New kits use 15 points of comparrison. Older kits used 13. #McTearTrial

My Fox 13 live feed went to a scrabble board. I'm having trouble finding another live feed.

Were Back! Mr Defense woke me up!

Yay! I'm glad..................I think :thinking:

Now defense wants to make sure the water they put the cloth samples in are sterile. GMAB

If I was a juror, I'd be giving him the stink eye.

Can he talk a little softer, please.

 

[Lovejac]

Defense asking her to explain about touch DNA.

He's talking about his sweat on his hands and hanky getting on the court podium. Eeewww.

How long can touch DNA last? Can it last a year?
Yes, she says. Depends on many environmental factors.

 

[Lovejac]

Do you think the trial will end today? I know this is the last witness, but I think he can go on for a while.

Don't they have to do closing arguments?

Isn't the defense going to present a case?

Chelly Noise in the LL court room

 

[Lovejac]

He asked how many items she received for analysis. She says 15.

How many items did she analyze for DNA testing? 14 How many did she analyze for Serology? 9

How many were not analyzed for anything? 1

My question: What does this questioning have to do with ANYTHING :waitasec:

 

[Lovejac]

Isn't the defense going to present a case?

Good grief!! :duh: Of course they are!

My brain is fried! :floorlaugh:

Don't mind me, I've lost my mind :blushing:

 

[Lovejac]

It's gone again and that's fine with me.

I can't stand to listen to that abrasive defense attorney's voice. Maybe that's what messed up the feed.

See y'all tomorrow :seeya:

 

[Jewels53]

Thanks Lovejac!

See everyone tomorrow!
