Now, we've seen these images before in hearings about this case. Let's take a little bit of a look about what some of them show. We're not gonna show all of them to you. You can see here, In these comparison images, they're pointing out a few different things. They're saying a door was closed. Again, there's a relapse of several days in between these two. Different items there on the floor.

The blind position is different. And then if you can see in the right-hand image, there's a pair of underwear that's on the floor that isn't there in the first image. Another thing that the prosecution brought up on cross-examination of Mr. Lawrence, was the direction and the shape of these supposed handprint blood transfers there.

Another thing that the prosecution brought up on cross-examination of Mr. Lawrence, was the direction and the shape of these supposed handprint blood transfers there.
They pointed out, if you look at that first big spot there that could be a finger, the edge is very straight. And the prosecution asked Mr. Lawrence, if you have a handprint, is the edge of it usually straight? Well, let me just read you the transcription of the testimony there. This is homicide investigator Paul Moyle from the prosecutor's office.

He asked Lawrence, isn't it possible, sir, that what we actually see on the screen is not a bloody handprint or bloody fingerprints, but where the cloth that had been folded over and the transfer happened that way? And then Mr. Lawrence answers, not necessarily, because you have to understand what this stain is showing is variants of the fingers that have blood on them.

And then we don't know how much blood was on there if this was a hand. So again, on cross-examination, the prosecution getting Lawrence to say that he's not sure that it was a hand either. So a lot of doubt about what we were actually seeing in some of these photographs raised and Something I thought was very interesting.

Again, we've been talking in this case about how the jury is allowed to ask questions of the witnesses after the state and the defense are done. And the judge, Judge Boyd Patterson, has actually commended the jury on how good of notes they're taking and how specific their questions are. So one juror asks about the items that are moved in the apartment.

Again, these items from Mr. Lawrence's own report. So the judge reads the jury question there at the end. Do you think it's possible that Jason Chin moved items on November 27th after the body cam footage was filmed? Since cellular records, again, this is from earlier testimony in the week, show him in that same area later in the day.
