DNA comparisons involving Halbach's Pap-smear standard, RAV4 samples, and a garage bullet
On Day 23, the prosecutor described Culhane's comparison of RAV4 bloodstains and a Pepsi-can sample with a DNA profile developed from Teresa Halbach's Pap-smear standard. He also discussed the garage bullet comparison and acknowledged that Culhane's DNA appeared in a control sample during that testing, rather than on the bullet itself.
About
In closing argument, the State relied on the reported DNA comparisons as part of its account of the RAV4 and the garage bullet, while addressing contamination in a separate control sample.
