TN - Chris Newsom, 23, & Channon Christian, 21, murdered, Knoxville, 6 Jan 2007 #6

[Muffet]

stain b - major contributor - cobbins...

minor contrib - inconclusive

 

[Muffet]

major vs minor contributors = what we'd expect - who contributed the most...

 

[Muffet]

she would expect to see e.g. channon's as major contributor in vaginal swab...

 

[Muffet]

Another stain on camisole... Cobbins'...


on striped sweater - spot 1 has 2 profiles - cobbins & channon...

 

[Muffet]

Stain B on striped sweater - Channon major contributor - and there was a minor contributor, but inconclusive,..

 

[Muffet]

Describing what inconclusive means - pretty self explanatory...
she can see that there's dna, but not enough to make a match - only enough to exclude...

 

[Muffet]

Third stain on sweater - inconclusive.. moving to floral fabric -

 

[Muffet]

Stain A - had sperm.

3 people's dna:
Vanessa's
a man's, but undetermined
sperm - cobbins'

 

[Muffet]

Stain B (We're on floral fabric)

cobbins' sperm


Stain C

non-sperm:
female, but inconclusive
sperm, but no dna profile

Stain D
- vanessa
.... and lost me - a few- 3 - inconclusives?

Wonder what floral fabric piece she's talking about.

 

[Muffet]

explaining how probabilities work... obvious...

Stain E
Cobbins and a female inconclusive...


Stain F
limited sperm - inconclusive
Channon's dna

Stain G
mixture of dna..
Channon
nessa
another, inconclusive
sperm consistent with cobbins, but probabilities are not as sure... 1 in 10,000 unrelated african americans would have that profile...

 

[Muffet]

Stain H (on floral fabric)

Limited sperm
dna from sperm & non-sperm fractions shows major contributor to be Channon


Sheer curtain fabric:
stain showed no semen

 

[Muffet]

Jeans


Cutting A
major contrib was channon
also Davidson

Cutting B
major contrib was channon
also Cobbins

Cutting C
Had blood - Channon's

5 locations that were inconclusive

 

[Muffet]

Moving to the next exhibit - the trashcan

Examination failed to show presence of semen...

Pros emphasizing that on trashcan, pink fabric, other exhibits, she wasn't able to find semen or blood, etc...
