This is the fiber comparison photo I keep seeing. Those two fibers do not look the same to me. They don't look like the same color, width, texture, etc. I just don't even know what to think about this photo.

Correct me if I am wrong. Doesn't the defense have access to these types of evidence? Is part of the defense's job to check and verify evidence?

Unless I'm hearing this all wrong, I seem to get an implication that the evidence is false, or mis-interpreted. Then, the defense misses the falsification, and/or the mis-interpretation?

Then, the good folks on FR find it? Too bad the good folks at FR didn't get the information to Feldman, in time for him to bring it up on cross-examination.

Or maybe the defense did their job, checked the evidence, found no falsification or mis-interpretation, so didn't bring it up on cross-examination. (Meaning good folks at FR are wrong about this)

In any event, it is probably too late, to re-introduce the topic in sur-rebuttal.

I don't believe Defense automatically gets any of the evidence. They do get copies of reports that come back to Prosecution. If they get samples they have to pay for independent testing, which in many cases is a great deal more expensive that what the state pays for the same test.
