Jones moved back to the outside photos. Pezzella talks about the patio chair by the first floor window that she swabbed for DNA. She pulled fingerprints and tool marks from the broken second store window that she sent to the State Crime Lab. #Bliefnicktrial

Jones hands Pezzella the spent shell casings in evidence bags. She confirms they were the ones she found in Becky’s house. These were also sent to the State Crime Lab. Seven shell casings were tested for DNA and one was tested for fingerprints. #Bliefnicktrial

Pezzella explains that on many pieces of evidence, an investigator has to make a choice whether to test them for either DNA or fingerprints because of the limited surface availability of some evidence. Jones hands her a bag of small pieces of grocery bags, also sent to the lab.

Jones gives Pezzella the bullet fragments from the scene. She confirms she examined them and sent to the State Crime Lab as well. Also the bullets removed from Becky were included as well.

Pezzella said gun shot residue (GSR) from Becky wasn’t tested because Becky was shot multiple times. She also confirms GSR can be washed away with soap and water. She said such testing must be done within six hours. #Bliefnicktrial
