Post Mortem | The Footprint

That was so interesting, Anne-Marie. This was the first one for me, as it seemed to be for the investigators. But, you know, remember these were actually recorded back in 1993. They were photographed. There were seven that they had labeled. So what was interesting is we had two experts. So we had the expert for the state, and then we had an expert that had been hired by the defense.

And the expert for the state said that four of those were suitable for comparison. And he decided, and he testified as such, that four of those prints belonged to Jerry Westrom, that Jerry Westrom was the one who left them there. That is so damaging, as you can imagine, because... We know his DNA is in that apartment, but now it looks like that these bloody prints also belong to him.

But then you have the expert that had been hired by the defense, and she is an expert who teaches in Waterville, Maine, Alicia McCarthy. And she did the same work as the state expert, but she said that she only found one of those prints, E2, it was labeled E2, as suitable for comparison. She says that the state expert was not right about those other three, that you could not...

analyzed and compared those other three, just E2. But what matters in this case is she also found that the print, which is right below the big toe of the left foot, just this small area, she says was left by Jerry Westrom.

So as you can imagine, Anne Marie, when the defense found out that she was a green, at least on that one part that it belonged to Jerry Westrom, the defense dropped her, did not want her to testify for them. But the state said, please testify for us. She did. And I think that was very significant for the jury. So what you have is you do have the DNA, the DNA.

genetic genealogy DNA that seems to place him in that apartment. And you have the area right below the big toe of the left foot that seems to also place Jerry Westrom in her blood on the day she was murdered. And then you have that interview where he doesn't seem to show a lot of emotion. But that's that really kind of describes the case against Jerry Westrom.

The judge did allow the defense to raise Arthur Gray. He was living in the apartment with... Jeannie, they did have a history of abuse. She had filed a police report and his hair was found on her hand. But he had an alibi. But there there were some really interesting other possible people of interest. So they found blood right in the stairwell that belonged to a guy named John S.Y.,

And so they interviewed John Eswa. And I should point out, none of his DNA was found in the apartment, but his blood was found in the stairwell. And they interview him, and he's a very friendly guy. But when they compared his feet to those unknown bloody footprints, it came out inconclusive. The jury never heard any of that. And a more interesting person is James Luther Carlton.
