About
The exterior swab yielded a three-contributor mixture that included O'Keefe, with two unidentified contributors. Porto testified that he was not asked to compare the profile with Brian Albert or Brian Higgins; the defense used that limited comparison scope to challenge the unidentified contributors.
A swab taken from the exterior of the broken drinking glass (item 3-2) recovered from 34 Fairview Road. DNA analysis identified a three-contributor mixture including John O'Keefe at a likelihood ratio of 530 nonillion; two contributors remained unidentified. Porto testified that he was not asked to compare the profile with Brian Albert or Brian Higgins. State Police lab and independent Bode Technologies analysis were both consistent with O'Keefe.
