• The blood spot has the combined DNA of three people. Two of them are likely Rafferty and Tori Stafford. Equal amounts of their blood.

So this is a blood w/blood sample that identifies both MR and Tori to go with the blood/seman sample that identifies Tori, but unknown male.

• Now showing tests from the driver's seat.

@AM980_Court

• It was tested for traces of saliva, and other things.

They tested the seat for semen, which was not detected.

RaffertyLFP: Examination of the drivers seat showed some saliva stains but not conclusive DNA tests

A sperm fraction was detected, however. Found on the back rest, with the saliva.

Rafferty could not be excluding from being a match. Chances a not related individual would match is 1 in 250 billion.

AM980.ca ‏ @AM980_Court
Sperm fractions found in a stain on the lower left side of the backrest.

I hope the Crown and or the witness will be able to summarize all this evidence.
I'm lost. :sigh:

I think they will. Remember we are getting second hand from reporters who are tweeting and getting from different sources, so it's hard to follow

Other stains from the seat were unsuitable for DNA matching.

AM980.ca ‏ @AM980_Court
Other portions of the seat were tested. At least 5. Not enough DNA to produce a match. Some was from a male.

RaffertyLFP: A number of stains were found on the driver's seat but there was not enough DNA for testing in most cases or the results were inconclusive

How close could she have been to the door? Someone needed to kick her and apparently she already had a garbage bag over her head before the hammer was struck to contain the blood. IMO try kicking someone multiple times when the person is that close to the door, doesn't make any sense

I'm thinking the killer had blood on his/her hands and touched the door moulding.

Me too, I wish I could have been there the whole day today, it would have really helped understand it all :waitasec:

Nothing absolutely conclusive from Honda , maybe from CS or corpse? Hopefully?

Well I'm no forensic expert but if someone had touched the door moudling I think the pattern of the bloodstain would have been more smudged whilst in this case it was a drop, so either it was splatter from the hammer or it was when Tori went to piddle.

"Not a lot of useful information coming out of this for you," McLean says of those tests.

RaffertyLFP: Court takes break for 20 minutes More DNA results to come.
