About

The photograph was used to examine whether Avery's finger cut could have been a source of a contact-transfer stain near the RAV4 ignition. Stahlke called the cut a candidate source in Dassey's trial, while the court sustained a foundation objection to an initial comparison question in Avery's trial.
