Day Three: Rain or washing of hands could have cleaned residue off of Rivera

Elana Foster of RJ Lee Group in PA is being cross-examined. Defense asks if Foster was there when the hands were tested. Foster says "no." Defense asks if a person was to wash their hands prior to any of those swabbing being done, fi that would have an impact on results.

Foster says yes, and says that a person is capable of washing all residue off. Defense asks if Foster has any knowledge if the individual tested had washed his hands. Foster says she was not there and doesn't know.

Defense asks if rain would have an effect on gunshot residue found. We have previously heard that it was a rainy night when Officer Lindsey was shot.

On cross-direct, Prosecution asks if they've tested in the rain before. Foster says "no."
