I've always wondered about this photo. If the fibers were taken on a neutral background, how come the background on the right is more pink than the one on the left? Was the color altered to make the fibers look the same?

Also, notice how nicely the diameters and angle of the fiber have been matched up. Yet, the fibers appear to have variable diameters. Look at the one on the left. These fibers are very long, yet the police just happen to match up a place where the diameters are similar? Looks good for the prosecution's case - but is this objective? Is it good science? If this is the "best case" of matching, how close are the "large number of orange fibers" that the jury doesn't get to see.

Personally, I think all of this fiber evidence is garbage. Why didn't they tell us what fibers were/weren't on Danielle's bed sheets? If she were truely snatched from her bed by DW, you would expect to see all the fibers in her bed that were found in DW's environnment, like all the Layla hair.

My feelings exactly. If those pics are the same scale, then that's just another example of misrepresented evidence. Our justice system is going to heck in a handbasket, and all the lynch mob can do is cheer it on. One of these days, it could happen to one of them. They forget that.

Good observation. I thought that odd too, that the fibers had different background colors.

Check this out in relation to the photos of the 'matching fibers'.
