2. The knife was improperly handled, being removed from it's collection bag at the police station, where other items containing Meredith's DNA had been. It should have remained sealed until it got to the lab. This introduces the possibility of contamination, rendering any results obtained unreliable.

3. The DNA was LCN and Stefanoni's lab was not certified for LCN profiling. None of the standard precautions to avoid contamination were followed. LCN profiling should be done in a lab that has not previously tested the target DNA.

4. The sample supposedly survived within a striation on the blade that could never be found.

5. The sample was collected toward the tip of the knife, which is the easiest area of the knife to clean. If it was cleaned so thoroughly that nothing could be found at the joint between blade and handle, how did something survive out towards the tip? How were all traces of blood removed yet DNA survived? Blood is more resistant to bleach than DNA.

And let's not forget the knife wasn't even a match for the wounds.


Was this incompetence? Or, were results rigged in order to assist the prosecutor? Or, were results rigged as requested by the prosecutor?
