Day Four: Lester shown test sample swabs; had control samples to compare against

Exhibits are shown to Forensic Scientist Andrea Lester which are tissue samples. Lester says the samples were taken from the red Neon. She says, when asked, she believes they came from the driver's side of the car.

Lester is shown some more exhibits, including cuttings from the Baltimore Orioles jersey, the gray Winnie-the-Pooh sweatshirt, and the shoe that was shown to Taneka Warden yesterday.

The swab samples from the cans found in Sammy Rivera's car are also shown to Lester.

In addition to those items of evidence, Lester says they had control samples (a "known sample - they know who it's from) to compare against.

Lester is shown a blood sample of Officer Lindsey, a swab sample from Sammy Rivera, a swab from Naomi Diaz, a swab from Baby Luis, and a swab from Wesley Molina-Cirino (Flaco).
