"13 Q Jackie Dilson also has indicated, and I
14 believe Chris Wolf has confirmed, that she presented
15 the Boulder Police Department with the blue cotton
16 sweater worn by Chris Wolf. Do you recall that
17 being --
18 A I don't recall that. I recall vaguely
19 that there was some clothing that she offered.
20 Q Were any fiber tests, forensic tests
21 conducted on those articles of clothing by the
22 Boulder Police Department?
23 A I don't know.
24 Q Would you have expected there to be?
25 A Again, without knowing the context and all
116
1 the information, it's difficult to answer.
2 Q The context of Chris Wolf being
3 investigated as an individual under the umbrella of
4 suspicion?
5 A Without knowing what the clothing is and
6 whether there was something that potentially could
7 match --
8 Q Blue cotton sweater?
9 A -- those things, I would expect that.
10 Q Because there were blue fibers found on
11 the crime scene?
12 A Yes.
13 Q So do we know whether the fiber test was
14 conducted on the blue cotton sweater and, if so, the
15 results of whether there was any type of consistency
16 in the fibers with the fibers found at the crime
17 scene?
18 A That I don't know.
19 Q Fiber evidence in and of itself would not
20 eliminate any individual as being under suspicion,
21 would it?
22 A In what way?
23 Q In any way.
24 A Well, fiber evidence -- it's not evidence
25 if it's not a match. So what do you mean by
117
1 evidence?
2 Q When you say it's not a match, that's
3 loose. I mean matches are rare in fiber analysis,
4 aren't they? What you generally come up with --
5 A I don't know how rare they --
6 Q -- is consistent with, isn't that what you
7 generally get?
8 A Yes.
9 Q Okay. Because it would take a very unique
10 fiber to say that we can absolutely tell you that
11 this is a match?
12 A Yes.
13 Q That's a very rare, if ever, occurrence,
14 true?
15 A Yes.
16 Q So if I have got Chris Wolf and he's got a
17 blue cotton sweater and he submits that to the
18 authorities and you check and you say, okay, we've
19 got a fiber from this sweater of Mr. Wolf's and it's
20 consistent with the blue cotton fiber that we found
21 at the crime scene, that doesn't tell you that Chris
22 Wolf was involved in the murder, does it?
23 A No.
24 Q And if it comes back that it's not
25 consistent with, that doesn't tell you that he was
118
1 not involved in the murder, does it?
2 A Correct.
3 Q But you would want to know, it would seem,
4 if he's under suspicion and he submits material to
5 you, in this case hypothetically blue cotton, you
6 would expect it to be analyzed because there were
7 blue cotton fibers found on the crime scene, true?
8 MR. MILLER: Objection. Asked and
9 answered.
10 Q (BY MR. WOOD) Am I right?
11 MR. MILLER: You can answer it again.
12 A Yes.
13 Q (BY MR. WOOD) Okay. To your knowledge,
14 have those blue fibers at the crime scene ever been
15 sourced?
16 MR. MILLER: Wait a minute. What is the
17 question?
18 MR. WOOD: To his knowledge, have the blue
19 fibers found at the crime scene ever been sourced.
20 A There are a lot of reports around on fiber
21 evidence. To the best of my recollection, no.
22 Q (BY MR. WOOD) Were there any other color
23 fibers found at the crime scene that had not been
24 sourced?
25 A That have not been sourced?
119
1 Q Yes.
2 A Yes.
3 Q What colors?
4 A Brown.
5 Q So blue, brown, anything else?
6 A Not off the top of my head, no.
7 Q That's something that could be ascertained
8 with research?
9 A Yes."
