So I would have no clue why the closing statement wouldn't be read..It was presented, wasn't it?
But if there this is the case, and Dusek deliberately misled the Jury in his opening statement, and doesn't deliver the goods as promised, then I hope Team Feldman turns his words against him in closing arguments...just for the purposes of recollection...:~)

Yes, Feldman should remind the jurors of every misleading statement and unfulfulled promise Dusek made. I'm wondering what the heck Dusek was thinking when he wrote that opening. Was forensic evidence still at the lab and the prosecution didn't get the results they EXPECTED?
I think the ruling in MA was that opening and closing statements are not evidence, and the jury is only allowed to consider evidence while deliberating.
