[Karson]

One stain matched to Derrick Van DAm

Why was her brother's blood on her clothes? He is the oldest boy, correct?

[Freedom2specul8]

I'm eating bb-cue hamburger, steak sauce, NO bread and bb-cue zucchine..oh wait, that's not testimony. :)

[Freedom2specul8]

Twas bean bag chair

[nycgal]

I believe Derrick is the oldest, but not sure

[Freedom2specul8]

Witness reaffirms that he could not tell if dna on beanbag chair came from danielle's saliva or blood. DNA could have been mixed nad not on top of each other.

Washing machine..packaging items together. They were found togethe rin the washing machine...and trace evidence can transfer from article of clothing to article of clothing in washer or dryier.

[nycgal]

Cornecchia excused.

[Karson]

What did we glean from his testimony. I was on the phone. :-(

[dougherty]

The Simpson case was a public-relations fiasco for the California courts – and many people blamed the television camera.

Wrong! The person at fault was Ito, who refused to take control of that courtroom. He let Cochran and Co. get away with murder.

Why was her brother's blood on her clothes?

I believe they were talking about the beanbag chair, but I have not been able to pay close attention. What item of clothing if that is what they were referring to?

[nycgal]

New witness. Criminalist Tanya DuLaney.

[Freedom2specul8]

Well, what new factoid I learned was that there was a blood stain on danielle's pjs... The beanbag stain was old and probably ruled out as important..

[nycgal]

Analyzed waste water.

[nycgal]

Analyzed waste water.

Not necessarily for this case, however.

[Rheo]

blood found on cuff of left arm on pj's.....blood found on cuff of left arm of purple shirt also found on floor....missed if it was ID'd and/or results of ID.

the laundry bag found in cargo area of SUV, contained papertowels, teal jacket, roll of plastic bags, towel...all tested negative for semen or blood....boots and shoes also tested negative.

[Freedom2specul8]

also did fiber, paint, attire, hair analysis.. discussing education..

[nycgal]

Was in DW house 2/13. Also in DW MH on 2/6. Never in VD home.

[Karson]

I thought I heard something about Danielle's pjs that were found on the floor of her room and a long sleeved purple shirt that also was on the floor (collected by Dorie Savage) on her initial visit.

I wasn't able to pay close attention during his testimony due to phone call. I'm not good at multi-tasking. lol

[Freedom2specul8]

I'm definitley on time delay..you're catching stuff first..

[Freedom2specul8]

Just now told dates..

[Freedom2specul8]

must be about 3 minute time delay.
