ICYMI The word quadrillion was thrown out often during a Supreme Court murder trial in Yarmouth on Jan. 17. | SaltWire
The Yarmouth Justice Centre. TINA COMEAU PHOTO - SaltWire NetworkNOTE TO READERS: There are some parts of this story that include disturbing details that have been presented during the trial.
The DNA testing linked the victim to evidence collected during the investigation, which included parts of a chainsaw, a machete and personal items found outside a South Ohio residence where it is alleged Cook was killed at some point after arriving there late on the evening of Sept. 25, 2020.The province’s chief medical officer, Dr. Matthew Bowes, previously testified that Cook likely died from blood loss and multiple injuries. The amputation of the leg, he believed, was done after Cook’s death.
“However, there are some factors that can influence whether biological material or DNA will remain on an exhibit,” he said. “DNA can last a very long time if it’s in the right conditions; and those conditions would be some place that is away from direct sunlight, some place cool and dry.”Asked by defence attorney Nicholaus Fitch whether a DNA profile can declare whether a person was alive or deceased at the time their DNA was left on an item, Moy said there is no way to determine that.
Fitch also called Siscoe’s memory into question, pointing out in his police statements he had told the police he didn’t remember much of what had happened at the South Ohio residence and also that his brain was not working well at that time.
