Its easier if we can go say something half truthful like your blood was found at the scene even if the scene was a kitchen where you had regularly cooked and the blood was of indeterminate age than to make something up from whole cloth. The later is also legally actionable while the former may well not be.
- pseudalopex 3y agoThe jurors heard where blood matching Nina Reiser's DNA was found. It was the entrance of the house where Hans lived after they separated and a sleeping bag cover in his car. Not the kitchen. They heard his claim she cooked there. They heard a witness admit bad technique meant the sample inside the house could have been Hans's blood mixed with other DNA from Nina. Saying the age couldn't be determined didn't help the prosecution. Reports at the time said it was the 1 piece of evidence the defense made reasonably doubtful.
