Yes, DAW left the jacket at the cleaners. The clerk didn't note any stains at the time.
Det. Torgerson got the jacket on thursday, and took it to the police impound.
The lab tech got it from impound, noticed the stains -did a presumtive test for blood, took polaroid photos of the jacket, then cut the sections out.
The police had Danielle's DNA from the beginning, the vaginal secretion on her panties and from the bean-bag chair.
The evidence impound isn't all too secure, note the .22 shell case (and what's up with that ?) was taken for a day, and nobody seems to know who took it.
This is an awfully risky way to win an election. If it backfires then you go to jail instead of back into office.
It is indeed, if you can show the DA's office directed it.
I'd go with Det. Ott and Keyser had a "hunch" that David was the man, but evidence had to get "embellished" some.
No risk for the super-cops, they got away with beating a suspect a couple of years back and got away again with lying on the affidavts to the search warrants.
