Item 52 — DOJ DQ-Alpha strip with disputed faint 1.3 indication

Department of Justice DQ-Alpha strip for Item 52, also described as item 52/58, bearing a faint 1.3 band or dot. Gerdes characterized the indication as contamination; Popovich attributed it to high-DNA-concentration cross-contamination rather than evidence contamination, while the plaintiffs' experts attributed it to cross-hybridization.
