devastating Dr. Henry Lee delivered consequential defense testimony on blood evidence integrity, testifying that transfer patterns on Item 47 required contact by a wet swatch while saying he did not know how the transfer occurred or who placed the swatch in the bindle. He later said the number of wet transfer imprints did not add up—'Something is wrong'—suggesting tampering or mishandling. He also testified that the Rockingham blood pattern was consistent with a small volume of blood and not a major cut, and that the Bronco stains could be produced with much less than 1 cc of blood, as the jury surpassed the Manson trial sequestration record.
