Young says she compared prints to the system. Re: scraper, couldn't tell if it was from finger or palm, and could not make conclusive comparison. Re: box, also couldn't tell on 1 set. On other fingerprints, she says the prints weren't from CBR.

Cross now. Young says she tried to get known prints from #MollieTibbetts but her remains were not in a condition to do so. She had no access to Mollie's known prints.

Brown: "Can you tell the jury when a fingerprint is placed upon any item?" Young: "I cannot." Brown: "Is it very possible the prints you identified on the plastic box could have been placed...weeks or months before?" Young: "They could." @KCCINews #BahenaRiveraTrial

[TL4S]

Data from Tibbetts’ cellphone provider shows her phone was moving at a running pace before accelerating to over 60 mph around 8:27 p.m. and eventually slowing down and stopping more than 10 miles away, FBI agent Kevin Horan testified. By 8:53 p.m., her phone went dark.

See, this is where I can see the defense trying to insert somebody else's possible involvement. Something like, "CBR stopped here, somebody else was there and killed her. Then, later, CBR dumped the body." It makes him guilty of a crime, but not murder one.

Not saying this is what happened, or this is even where the defense is going, but between a known stop (likely near the pig farm) and no definitive time or location of death, is this a tactic to bring reasonable doubt? What else do they have?

Surprised Mollie was not previously fingerprinted for the daycare... it's federal law I believe.

Fingerprint expert's big reveal===unknown prints on ice scraper and fishing tackle box. woohoo, set him free...

Young agrees the unknown prints could have been on the box weeks, months before.

Says prints can be destroyed by repetitive touching, smearing, cleaning, left out in the elements. A fingerprint can stay on an item "indefinitely" if those factors aren't in place.

Young agrees it's possible #MollieTibbetts touched the items in the trunk and she has nothing to compare it to.

Re-direct. Jennifer Frese: "Ma'am, it's possible another person touched those items in the trunk." Young: "It's possible."
1:15 PM · May 25, 2021·Twitter Web App

Frese: "Where we stand here, we don't know who made the prints that are in the trunk?" Young: "Correct."

If CBR kidnapped her, assaulted her, put her in the trunk, someone else killed her, then he took her to the cornfield and buried her in stalks....that is a pretty serious charge, probably Life sentence right there

 

[Bravo]

Dalton Jack next!!!!

 

[Seattle1]

No evidence that a tackle box and ice scraper were used in a violent crime. These items are not relevant to the murder of Mollie.

Let's focus on the minutea, and hopefully the jurors will all doze off. Because, there is literally nothing to see here for a defense.
