Uh, I have been closely following the case since day one, and IMO the fiber evidence was not conclusive, not properly quantified and numerous fiber's were untested. http://www.crimelibrary.com/forensics/trace/3.htm

Thank you for that link (Crime Library). If I may quote from it:

"In short, the fiber analyst compares shape, dye content, size, chemical composition, and microscopic appearances, yet all of this is still about "class evidence." Even if fibers from two separate places can be matched via comparison, that does not mean they derive from the same source, and there is no fiber database that provides a probability of origin.
