That one points to a complete breakdown in the chain of command in the securing of the crime-scene.
But regardless, things like that pretty well negate the value of any of the forensics in the cottage. It's bad enough that perhaps 3/4 of a dozen people had access to the upstairs before they knew it was a murder crime scene.....
..... but there was also Filomena being allowed unescorted access after it was known.
Add to this, that postal police Battistelli more than likely DID go into the murder room without forensics countermeasures, to check to see if the victim had actually expired. Add further that Napoleoni testified that the 4-person medical team also had been allowed into the murder room without countermeasures.
Add to this that the cornerstone of convicting Sollecito had been the bra clasp on that floor, collected 46 days later (!), and it was hardly an uncontaminated crime scene. Add to all that the manner in which Stefanoni's team collected the clasp 46 days later!
Aside from all that, I'm sure all was as per forensics protocols.
