    The defense finally gets its turn in questioning Sherry Culhane, the DNA Specialist. It gets a little contentious when the prosecution asks for several sidebars without the jury in the room. One of them having to deal with an email from Ken Kratz, the head prosecutor to Sherry Culhane.

    Today, we hear more from the prosecution, it's the last of their direct questioning and they unload a mountain of DNA evidence against Steven Avery. Including the Toyota key, and nearly every bloodstain inside Teresa's RAV4. Sherry Culhane testifies that it all points to one person - Steven Avery.


    But here's the thing… if it’s Teresa’s car, where’s her DNA on the key?

    Instead of a DNA class, in today's episode, we get to hear about some results. Sherry Culhane is back on the stand and talks about where she found traces of biological fluid inside the RAV4, on the infamous "FL" bullet that was embedded in a crack inside the garage, what was found on the hood latch of the RAV4 and more.

    We now get into the episodes where we learn about the real scientific evidence, the DNA. The state's witness is Sherry Culhane from the Wisconsin State Crime lab.


    In this episode we learn how they do their testing at the lab, the protocols, the safeguards, etc. But here's what sticks out to me. She qualifies her statements; a lot.


    “We try to…”

    “We attempt to…”

    “We generally…”


    You would expect (or at least hope) that if someone is testing your stuff, you'd want definitive answers not ones that say "well, we did our best".


    If you’ve ever wondered how DNA evidence was tested back in 2006, what the standards were and how the process went, this episode will explain all that. The state is essentially setting the stage for what comes in the next episode: the actual results.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✦━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    In this episode of the Steven Avery trial, we hear from two people. Katie Halbach, Teresa's sister and her story about jeans, and Ron Groffy who was one of the people involved in taking photos of Teresa's car shortly after it arrived at the lab.


    And we've got some questions.


    First, Katie says something about Teresa owning a pair of Daisy Fuentes jeans. You know, the same brand of rivets found in a burn barrel. That's a bit concerning. The thing is, Katie doesn't know much about these jeans, only that Teresa had a pair at some point in time.


    Then we hear from Ron Groffy—he was called in on his day off to take photos of Teresa's car. Which would lead you to think that maybe the car had just arrived because he was the guy who took "before" pictures.


    Before the evidence techs started rummaging through it, getting fingerprints, and so forth.


    The problem though, the big problem, is that he said the driver's side door was unlocked when he arrived to take photos.


    At the scene, a big deal was made about the car being locked. So what was it? Locked or unlocked?


    Then we see what appears to be some kind of prints on the back wheel cover of the vehicle which didn't appear there before. What gives?


    Next, we'll hear from Sherry Culhane, who tells us all about the forensic evidence that became central to the prosecution.

    In this episode, we find out what happened when investigators visited Steven Avery's garage four MONTHS after their initial investigation. Because nothing could have changed over four months right? The garage had been released back to the family in November of the previous year. They'd already arrested Steven and he was in jail. So what gives?

    After the juror issue is all resolved, the next witness, Gary Steier gets on the stand and we hear about how a bullet fragment was found in Steven Avery's garage MONTHS after the original search. Four months, if we're being precise.


    What's sketchy though is that he mentions that Lt. James Lenk was on the scene in this much later search of the garage. Steier had no clue that Lenk had been called to testify in the civil lawsuit that Avery had against Manitowoc County and Manitowoc wasn't even supposed to be involved. So why were they there at all?


    Since Steier didn't know about this civil lawsuit, he didn't really pay much attention to what all was happening in the garage itself. No one told him to keep an eye on those Manitowoc guys.

    In this episode, the courtroom takes an unexpected turn — and it’s not about evidence, but about a juror. One juror reveals she served in a past case involving Detective Remiker — a key witness in this trial. The issue? She may have awarded him $100,000 as a plaintiff years earlier.


    Episode 39 is entirely dedicated to the fallout: private questioning, defense objections, and the judge’s decision on whether this juror can stay. Could her prior judgment impact her impartiality now? Or did the system just shrug and move on? A must-listen for anyone tracking fairness in this high-profile case.
