Michele Kestler, head of the LAPD Crime Lab, testified as a witness at the June 1994 preliminary hearing and during the criminal trial in August 1995. She testified that DNA results appeared in the press before prosecutors received them and addressed laboratory oversight and evidence documentation, including the laboratory's lack of accreditation, an unfinished procedures manual, and authorized photographer access during a Bronco examination. Her August testimony included examination by Peter Neufeld and Christopher Darden.
