You would think they would be more careful, when it was such important evidence....

You would have also thought that before cutting out the stains from the carpet and jacket that the defense team would be able to collect evidence, take pictures also.
If LE and criminalists cannot be trusted to collect and preserve evidence properly and allow that evidence, or more like it be tested by both sides then there are going to be these types of discrepancies.

Was the defense not given the opportunity to have their own DNA or forensic testing done on the evidence collected?
