Mr. Stahlke's two-page report describing contact-transfer stains
Mr. Stahlke's two-page report described contact-transfer stains on the vehicle's seat cushions and dashboard near the ignition switch. During Day 11 discussion outside the jury's presence, counsel disputed whether the report disclosed an opinion connecting a particular injury to those stains.
About
The report's stated scope was central to the defense objection to an opinion linking a photographed cut to a particular bloodstain; the State pointed to the report's description of contact-transfer stains in response.
