  Speaker 1: Photographs included in the forensic biology report related to the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: laboratory analysis of the knife sheath provide closer images of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the spatter stains associated with impact on the exposed surface
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: back of the knife sheath. A. Presumptive testing for the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: presence of blood in the stains on the back of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the knife sheath was positive. B. Subsequent DNA testing of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the stains on the back of the knife sheath revealed
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a mixture of DNA. 1. Kaley-Gonsalves matches the major profile
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of DNA. 2. Madison-Mogan is a potential contributor to the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: minor component of DNA. The back of the knife sheath
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: was exposed to spatter stains, which originated from impacts to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Kaley-Gonsalves and Madison-Mogan. 22. The front strap of the knife
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: sheath was swabbed and tested as item 1.1, as indicated

• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Image ISP 4885 shows this swipe in closer perspective. Swipe
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: stains are caused by a transfer of blood from a
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: blood-bearing surface onto another surface, with characteristics that indicate relative
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: motion between the two surfaces. Stain number 48 was pre-logged
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: into the ISPFS system as stain 42-29. This sample was
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: then assigned the laboratory number of 7730. Testing showed the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: sample to originate from Kaylee Gonsalves. B. There is no
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: physical evidence to indicate that either Ms. Gonsalves or Ms.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Mogan created this transfer stain. 24. DSC 4857 cropped was

  Speaker 1: in DSC 4435. A. Stains 23 and 24 and 27
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: were tested for the presumptive presence of blood and were positive. B.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: The location and distribution of stains 23, 24, and 27
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: are consistent with cast-off mechanism while their physical appearance is
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: consistent with diluted blood. 1. Cast-off is created when blood
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is released as a result of a bloodied object in motion. 2.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: The appearance of the blood stains reveal that the blood
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: has been diluted by another liquid. c. DNA testing of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the stains from the north wall, stain 27, of the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: stairwell shows a mixture of DNA. 1. Kaylee Gonsalves matches
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the major component. 2. Madison Mogan is a potential contributor
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to the minor component. D. There is no physical evidence
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to indicate that Kaylee Gonsalves or Madison Mogan was in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: this location after sustaining their bloodletting injuries. Alright folks, we're
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: going to wrap up right here. And in the next
