Q MISS PEER, I BELIEVE WE HAD LEFT OFF WITH YOU HAD DESCRIBED SOME POPULATION STATISTICS ABOUT THE COMPARISON YOU MADE BETWEEN MR. WESTERFIELD'S KNOWN SAMPLE AND THE BLOOD ON THE JACKET LAPEL. DO YOU RECALL THAT?

A YES.

SNIP Q A BILLION IS -- SIX OR SEVEN BILLION IS MORE COMMON THAN THE NUMBERS THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN ON THE CHART WITH REGARD TO THE CARPET STAIN AND THE SHOULDER STAIN, IS THAT CORRECT?A THAT'S CORRECT.

Q NOW, I'M SORRY, I SPOKE TOO SOON ABOUT THE CHART. BUT PERHAPS YOU CAN DO IT WITH A POINTER.WE SEE THAT WITH THE CARPET STAIN AND THE SHOULDER STAIN THAT THE ESTIMATED RARITY OF THOSE PROFILES ARE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER. IS THAT CORRECT?

A YES, THEY ARE.

Q THOUGH THEY'RE BOTH CONSISTENT WITH THE UNDERPANTS AND LATER TESTING THAT YOU DID OF DANIELLE VAN DAM'S RIB SAMPLE, IS THAT RIGHT?A THAT'S CORRECT.

SNIP

A THEY'RE DIFFERENT BECAUSE ONE OF THE MARKERS IN THE BLOODSTAIN FROM THE CARPET DID NOT SHOW ANY D.N.A. TYPES. WHEN THE STATISTICAL CALCULATION IS MADE, IT'S MADE ONLY WITH THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED TO THE MARKERS IN THE EVIDENCE SAMPLE, NOT TO THE REFERENCE, BUT IN THE EVIDENCE SAMPLE. THEREFORE, WHEN A STATISTICAL CALCULATION WAS MADE OF THE CARPET STAINS, IT ONLY TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE TWELVE MARKERS THAT ARE THERE. AND WITH THE BLOODSTAIN FROM THE JACKET, IT TOOK INTO ACCOUNT ALL THIRTEEN MARKERS THAT ARE PRESENT.

But, Kim, *When and how did it get there?* That's for the prosecution to *explain* and they've not done it.

Yah, I already knew that, everyone calls it blood, but has that been scientifically established?

I would think that LE would first do a presumptive test for blood, then a conclusive test for blood (maybe determining blood type) and then do DNA testing. Since people are conditioned to associate blood with trauma, I thing the difference is important. If the prosecution claimed that a Danielle drool spot was in the MH and on the jacket people wouldn't be so quick to say "He killed her then".
