About

The difference between the reported and actual number of clear plastic pieces reinforced the defense's challenge to the integrity of the evidence documentation. Separately, the prosecution argued the dimple pattern on these fragments corresponded to abrasions on O'Keefe's body.

An evidence bag contained pieces of clear hard plastic taillight cover with raised dimples and curvature, recovered from 34 Fairview Road. The bag held two pieces of clear plastic, while the investigator's report referenced only a single piece, contributing to a broader discrepancy in the documented versus actual piece count. The dimple pattern of these fragments was also noted as potentially relevant to injuries observed on O'Keefe's arm.
