Now the background thing is really bothering me

We may not haev any idea what the orginal's look like. The examiner would have seen orginal's in microscope. Then a photo was taken apparently for example merely for demonsrating the evidence, I believe the Jury will have actual slides available if they desire. Further, assuming we are looking at photos these photos had to be scanned.

In order to say anything definitive about comparing them we have to state the light, background and distance etc was exactly the same AND we have to make the same claim about the scans so we can view them on computer. Plus if they are not direct scans of original photo we may be viewing a press photo of a photo.

But what do I know, I can't match my clothes.

That is true - we have no idea what it is that we're actually looking at. I hope that the jury does have something besides this photo to look at.

I know this is a dumb question for the old hands but I just read Westerfields jacket had orange lining. Those fibers were checked right ?

You are correct. There was a great deal of microscopic examination of the orange fibers. The photos available to us on the internet mean nothing.
