Still stuck on rape case DNA... Anyone else?

For three years TFG refused to turn over DNA sample.. Then.....

"After refusing to provide a DNA sample, Trump’s lawyers switched tactics, saying they would provide one if Carroll’s lawyers turned over the full DNA report on the dress."

They say TFG has had the DNA report without addendum for a long time.

I know, all inadmissible now. Trial underway w/o DNA or reference to it. Just think there must be a clue in all this!

And why did prosecution so easily give up the DNA route? It's a sure thing? Or maybe not ( i.e. addendum to DNA report? Warning w/ caveats?.

Anyone else trying to figure this out?

I know, word has it that TFG will be found guilty since trump didn't show up and because the evidence bar is lower for a civil trial...

Don't care, just trying to understand it all.

his games and were concerned that because the dress was not properly secured for chain of custody, they may throw it out anyway. I do hope she wins and gets it tested anyway.

on it. Hence addendum request, just pure conjecture, said "blah blah blah, old sample only x% accurate? "

Get that dress not secured. Chain of custody.

You sound like you know infinitely more than I do!

PS. Sorry used prosecution word inaccurately

Chain or not, certain samples are harder to acquire than others. It's not like saliva on a glass.

Besides, didn't he already say she liked it, or something like that?

See the Murdaugh case with SLED in South Carolina relatively recently and their destructive analysis and handling of what they had.

Trump's offer to provide a sample was made after his last motions to postpone the trial were denied. He refused to provide a DNA sample for 3 years. The late offer was made in an attempt to re-open discovery and expert analysis which would have forced a delay of the trial. The judge said Trump's offer was too late and the trial would proceed with both parties agreeing to not mention the dress during the trial.

If I was her, and I knew dna was his I'd have my attys move heaven and earth, even begging for a delay, to get that evidence in.

Hmmm. Something is fishy

air ( his quote), it all makes sense. Picture trump saying to his atty... " Ok what have we got to push this down the road?". And Tacopena saying " Well, you could agree to give your DNA?".

And TFG saying " whaaaaa?"

And atty saying " No worries, it will delay it all and I will think of something that makes you come out smelling like a rose"

I believe the reverse is also true. If Trump didn’t do it he should have begged his attorney to allow him to take the DNA test.

DNA found on dress. At least one a male. But also *supposedly there are pages from DNA report missing. ( Per Tacopena). So he said trump would submit DNA if those pages were turned over. Court said too late to reopen discovery. So no mention of DNA

Who woulda thought DNA doesn't get washed out

To provide DNA samples to match. Then told trump attys that there was an unidentified male's DNA on dress and asked for his DNA originally.
