Its has also become apparent to me that the vial of Avery's blood that the police had since 1996 cant have been used to plant the blood in Teressa's car. Because Avery's blood in the car had none of the preservative EDTA present in them. The vial has been scientifically excluded.
"And this planting, this vial planting
defense, even from a common sense standpoint, is
absolutely ludicrous.
But what we were able to do, what you
heard, is scientifically exclude that vial of
blood. You heard from Dr. LeBeau, who testified
that this blood is loaded with EDTA and this
blood, and this blood, and this blood, have no
detectable levels of EDTA. And so instead of
calling all of the people with keys and with
codes, and people in the Clerk's Office, and who
might have seen Lieutenant Lenk or Colborn, or
all those kinds of things, instead of doing it
that way, we only had to call one witness, who
scientifically could tell you that there is
absolutely no way that that vial of blood was
used to plant.
In fact, that very question was asked of
Dr. LeBeau, the head of the toxicology section,
or the unit at the FBI. And he said, by a
reasonable degree of scientific certainty, this
vial of blood is excluded, that means it's not
it, it's excluded as the source of those three
bloodstains."
