About
Documents blood staining on O'Keefe's clothing. Chain-of-custody concerns were raised when both shirts were found to have originally been stored together in one evidence bag dated six days after collection, then separated at an unknown time; the lab did not receive the items until March 14. The shirt was also a source garment for the trace debris forwarded to Christina Hanley.
