Documents disclosed in the midst of the trial reveal that the prosecution engaged in a massive suppression of DNA evidence relevant to the case. Indeed, the prosecution suppressed in excess of 100 out of 173 genetic profiles that the laboratory processed in just the first month of its investigation. The suppressed results are for batch controls and evidentiary samples, including rape kit evidence and evidence of an additional crime scene in the downstairs apartment. Most critically, there has been a suppression of almost all evidence relating to the time period and batch in which the controversial Rep. 36b (allegedly the murder weapon) was processed, with the available data (and missing data) strongly suggesting that there was a serious problem in the processing of this trace. The Prosecution’s suppression of this data has deprived the defendants of a full and fair opportunity to investigate laboratory contamination and to examine potentially exculpatory genetic evidence. murderofmeredithkercher/missing-profiles-draft/
