that is not true. the information regarding the various wool fibers was included in the material that was provided under discovery. THE FACT THAT BERNIE IGNORED THE INFORMATION IS NOT THE PROBLEM OF NOR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROSECUTION.

Untrue. The defense was given access to the evidence. HOWEVER BERNIE SEGAL DECIDED TO PLAY GAMES IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET EVIDENCE SHIPPED ACROSS THE COUNTRY. (that was never going to happen and a reasonable and responsible lawyer would have known as much). The prosecution provided access to good lab space and full/complete access to all the evidence. It was the DEFENSE fault that they were limited by the time due to Bernie's unsuccessful machinations.

********. there was no deception or "con artist" plan. the prosecution provided all the information. that the defense chose to ignore the evidence is the fault of the defense.

Double ********. there is plenty of evidence to PROVE that the family had dark woolen clothing and other items that were the likely source of the fibers INCLUDING THE AFGHAN INMATE CLAIMED HE GOT TOO TANGLED IN TO FIGHT OFF THE ALLEGED INTRUDERS.

No, he got rid of the items so that there was no opportunity for anyone to come back and gather them for further investigation. He slaughtered his family and threw their belongings away just as blithely as he had butchered them.

********....the evidence proved him to be guilty and none of it was made up or manufactured. The DNA evidence just further enforces the strength of the case.
