Steven Avery's blood vial
Exhibit 478 contained a purple-stoppered blood tube labeled Steven Avery. LeBeau testified that EDTA was present in the tube and concluded that the tested RAV4 stains could not have come from it. Arvizu testified that the EDTA level in the tube had not been measured and that the stain results did not rule out the tube as a possible source.

About
The defense alleged that blood from the retained vial was planted in Halbach’s vehicle. EDTA testimony addressed whether the tested RAV4 bloodstains could have come from the vial, but did not establish it as their source.
