Mark Sievers' Defense Attorney Michael Mummert is now cross examining Otterstatter.
The known sample was the jumpsuit recovered on the side of the road in Missouri.
Otterstatter did not receive any other coveralls for examinations in the case, she said. Mummert said two other coveralls were admitted into evidence the case.
Mummert asked Otterstatter to check if any dog or cat hairs were recovered in the trace evidence. She did not find any dog or cat hairs on the coveralls recovered on the side of the road in Missouri, Otterstatter said.
Mummert asked Otterstatter to explain how fibers can be weathered.
Mummert asks if Otterstatter would expect to see a difference between fibers exposed to outside conditions and fibers not exposed. Maybe, maybe not, Otterstatter said.
That's all the questions for Otterstatter and she is released from the witness stand.
The next witness is FBI analyst, Sherri Fentress, also testified Tuesday. Fentress said she conducted Mitochondrial DNA testing on certain items from the Teresa Sievers homicide investigation.
Fentress is walking jurors through what Mitochondrial DNA testing is using a power point.

We're to the second (and final I believe) FBI witness, this one on specific DNA. It's a second VERY detailed section of testimony. (This poor court reporter trying to spell these types of DNA coming up..)
