About

The defense used this unexplained fragment to raise questions about evidence handling, suggesting the chip may have broken off during handling or laboratory processing after collection.

A small chip piece was discovered inside the taillight evidence bag alongside two larger pieces that had been bagged at the scene. The collector could not explain the presence of the additional fragment, as only two pieces had been bagged.
