Day 6: What forensic evidence was and wasn't found at the scene

The Front Page

As the trial begins its second week, Day 6 began with a cross-examination of ESR forensic scientist, Fiona Matheson, and later the court heard from ESR forensic scientist Nicholas Curno, to discuss DNA evidence.

Last week, the jury heard how police and forensic scientists spent 11 days at the scene.

We already know the Crown isn’t relying too much on forensics done at the scene – but, it’s important for ESR to walk the jury through what they didn’t find, just as much as what they may have.
