@@IWillNvr4Get Coming from later in the trial, it is even worse. The prosecution’s narrative has no forensics to back it up at all. They say he killed her in the garage and then transported her body in her car, but they brought up no detectives or forensic laboratory technicians to say that he did either of those. The fact is, the police found no evidence of her killing in the garage or being transported in the trunk of her car because there was no evidence of that found in the first place. Given that the prosecution’s story is that he stomped her head in the garage, threw her body in the trunk, drove out to the dump site, placed her car and popped a tire, walked back home, and within 15 minutes the car was seen, that leaves basically no time to even clean the car properly and as we have seen in much older cases, even a deep clean with plenty of time will leave some sort of trace evidence behind. The fact is, the prosecution has no evidence that the defendant committed the crime, in fact, the complete lack of evidence seems to completely discredit the prosecution’s narrative.

@@IWillNvr4GetIt’s pretty much impossible to get useful DNA evidence in a case like this where the defendant and the victim are married and live together. Because both of their DNA is going to be in the house, in the garage, in the car, on each other’s clothes… they’re constantly in close proximity so the fact that his DNA is on her or her DNA is on him is meaningless.
