The samples Gore agreed to provide proved critical to the case against him. The testing resulted in a match. It was Gore's DNA on the boxers that had been recovered and also his DNA recovered from Milana Lee. And we'll leave it at that.

And I definitely look at the case myself as strong at that point, right? But there's never such a thing as I've said, like as a slam dunk. But there's all these pieces of circumstantial evidence that are being stitched together. But, you know, I always have to think like the defense, like what could they say?

And there it was, right out of the gate, the defense made their argument clear. They claimed that Daniel had a consensual sexual encounter with a 13-year-old because it's a statutory sexual assault charge because of her age.
