Has anyone seen this fact about the DNA being on the OUTSIDE of the nail reported in an actual news article or disclosed in a statement by defense lawyers?
I heard Jeanine Pirro say this, and then I heard Susan Filan say it. Did people here just hear it from these two, or is there an original source for this?
The nail helps the defense in three different way. First, it shows how extraordinarily sensitive the tests are, as the nail picked up dna from multiple sources. As such, it remains patently unbelievable that her other nails, clothers, body and so forth did not pick up any DNA. While the spinning experts say sometimes there is no DNA, I have yet to hear one explain how there is no DNA on her but on the nail. Second, it has multiple people but not CF or RS and as such you would have to conclude that if she was held down by three people, they have two of the wrong guys. Finally, it is not on the underside of the nail, and so it does not confirm her story.
I am sure there is more but the one thing you will never hear is a pro-prosectuor explaining, even as a workign theory, how all of this fits together with her story.
I think it's the over active imaginations of the talking heads... Unless they have more information than the defense attorneys... I listened to Chesire's statements and he alluded to the condition or location of the DNA but as best I can recall he did not say it was found on the outside of the nail... I have it on TIVO, I'll listen again later...
They would almost have to use his DNA as a control.
They often use the detectives DNA.
Is it possible they had his DNA from his "rowdy" arrest?? I'd sure like to know that because of the way this is going.
Yesterday Cheshire chastised the press by saying (paraphrasing, but the basic points) "And why are you all reporting that the DNA was UNDERNEATH the plastic nail? You know why? You heard DNA and fingernail and you just assumed it had to be underneath and went off chasing that theory like rabbits." Then he later said, "In fact when you see this fingernail, you are going to be very surprised." Hinting that possibly it had never been applied. I would take that to mean that he was trying to quash the "she scratched them and her nails came off." theory.
