Physical Evidence
Recovered bullet or bullet fragment discussed in connection with the victim's biological material; Jentzen referred to information about blood, while Strang distinguished prior DNA testimony
During Day 15 cross-examination, Jentzen referred to information that a recovered bullet contained the victim's blood, while Strang distinguished earlier testimony about DNA on a bullet fragment. Jentzen acknowledged that blood or DNA could have been left on a bullet passing through the skull of a person who had already died, provided the remains were not skeletal.
About
Jentzen said his understanding of biological material on the recovered bullet was one factor in his cause-of-death opinion, but the exchange left unresolved whether the bullet evidence showed blood rather than DNA.
