A bag of red taillight-cover plastic from 34 Fairview contained three pieces when opened at trial, while the investigator's report documented one piece at that location.
About
The discrepancy between the physical contents of the evidence bag and the written report was used by the defense to challenge the accuracy of the investigation's documentation and the reliability of the physical evidence.
An evidence bag containing pieces of red hard plastic taillight cover was recovered from 34 Fairview Road. When opened at trial, the bag was found to contain three pieces of red plastic, while the investigator's own report had documented only one piece of red plastic at that location.
