[Muffet]

Geeeze - pros wants to allow Dr Mus... (sp) to stay in courtroom after she testifies, it's fine w/ judge - defense *****ing..

 

[SuziQ]

Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I've been fighting a sinus/cold thing for two weeks and it's got the best of me this morning. I may not be on here long.....

 

[Muffet]

Eldridge saying that Mulusnik and Milsap's testimonies are going to contradict... so shouldn't see each other's testimony..

Judge says fine - exclude milsap from Milusniks

(anyone know how to spell theses names?)

 

[Muffet]

Defense cross of Milsap - IDing panties found in grey purse in the trash...

Little things that mean a lot - when Millsaps ID'd anal swabs of Channon, her dad dropped head down abruptly #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Wish I'd bought stock in surgical gloves before this trial, think we've gone thru couple dozen boxes #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Millsaps - extreme heat can degrade DNA. That would explain why unable to get DNA from rape of Chris #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Juror who asks tons ?s went high school with Millsaps, hasn't seen her in years, he stays in #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Sorry you're ill. Take care of yourself! Thanks for all you do.

 

[Muffet]

asking about her sept DNA exam of those panties...

major contributor - channon

There were a limited number of sperm, but couldn't get a DNA profile from them.

He asks why - she says the female DNA overwhelms it.

 

[tezi]

Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I've been fighting a sinus/cold thing for two weeks and it's got the best of me this morning. I may not be on here long.....

Suzi, feel better! I've got two babies fighting off something. Hopefully, their mother will be on time today, so I can help out here.

Y'all are doing a wonderful job!

I'm so sorry to hear that... hate to see you feeling bad, and we miss you!

Upper clothing, oral swab has Cobbins DNA; jeans, vaginal, anal swabs all Davidson. Gives idea who doing what #cntrial40 minutes ago

DNA of stains on Channon's camisole are consistent w/ Cobbins #cntrial43 minutes ago
Odds sperm found in anal rape of Christian isn't Davidson - 1 in 1.26 billion, says Millsaps #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Interesting - KPD asked DNA be checked for "the worm" and Rhonda Dukes, TV's fav neighbor to interview #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Graphic material aheas, be warned! Semen not enuff to get DNA, need skin cells r sperm in it, Millsaps says #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

Millsaps uses black light like device to light up semen on cloth #cntrialabout 1 hour ago

 

[SuziQ]

Thanks guys. What makes this all worse is my son slept through his alarm and missed the bus and school is 8 miles away. And I'm not gonna drive him. ugh.

 

[Muffet]

Milsap - fabric from purse

1st stain
she used tape to lift it instead of cutting & dipping... eldridge asks why.. she answers that she's looking for skin cells...

Results of tape lifts (she did 3):

Lift #1 - knotted end of cloth
3 profiles
Channon
vanessa...
at least one male - maybe 2?

Defense blocks Knox ME from being in courtroom during Millsaps testimony #cntrial8 minutes ago

One semen stain on bedding had skin cells from Channon, Coleman and sperm from Cobbins #cntrial41 minutes ago

Bedding stuffed in trash can w/ Channon had stains w/ DNA of Coleman, Cobbins. Just shows they had sex #cntrial44 minutes ago

 

[Muffet]

Lift #2

at least three individuals, at least one is a male.

Results were inconclusive...

Eldridge asks if one profile was unidentified... she says yes... he asks if it was pursued.. she says yes, and it turned out to be the dna of a lab worker...

So that was contaminated... *bombshell* yawn...

She says that happens sometimes, that's why they all keep their profiles on file...

 

[Muffet]

He asks whether they had any issues with any earlier samples, from back in march...

She said yes - so following protocol, she had to restart from scratch with new samples...

The issue was that DNA showed up in one of the blanks... it shouldnt have.

 

[Muffet]

Tape lifts 3 and 4

Channon
Davidson

Daphne Sutton can't be excluded...

 

[Muffet]

Asking her about identifying DNA - would twins match - yes - would brothers -- no.

She's pointing out differences between Cobbins' and Davidson's DNA:

Going into detail about the the different markers - even with same mother, they'll have different ones...
