DNA Testimony – State Rests Murder Case
November 1st, 2018 by iPhone
Next to testify was another crime lab expert. His focus was on DNA recovery, records, and specifically separation of DNA samples from a single article of clothing, (Thompson’s jeans). He emphasized the recovery of a female DNA, Ms. Binns, from that item.
Other swabbed locations included the car’s trunk, the gun and the driveway.
The state rested at 10:10 am.
After the court denied the usual motions for directed verdict, the defense called their first witness, a toxicologist, at 10:40. He saw Lavar Thompson, after he was shot, by return fire, that morning.
The next update on MonticelloLive.com is expected to cover testimony presented by the defense.
