Part of the problem with the sperm heads, I believe, is the information that "items were gathered up" before the forensics team got there. What was transferred in that one action, and from what, to what?
The sperm heads on the upper front of the T shirt, for example, could have been deposited by folding one side onto the other after the items were gathered up, giving the impression of two smaller samples where, there may, originally, have been one larger sample.
Alternatively (and please forgive me, there is no more delicate way of putting this). hands/fingers which had been in contact with semen could account for the transfer of single, or small numbers of sperm heads had those hands/fingers come into contact with the items of clothing.
The bit I really don't understand is the recovery of sperm heads from inside the padding of the bra. Surface level, fair enough, could have been contact transfer, but inside the padding?
The brown hairs were mostly described as "long," (I remember one being 7" long), the colourless/white hairs described as "short" - some as small as 1cm.
One of the forensic hair reports, I have never forgotten. It stated that two long brown hairs had been recovered, cut at both ends. One of them had a root. I may not be forensically qualified, but I even I know that a hair cut "at both ends" can't still be attached to its root!!
