We would have found fibers from clothes.

We would have found maybe lipstick on a glass, all sorts of things, fingerprints all over the house.

And one of the things that we did, just so that everybody wouldn't think that we were one sided on this, is when we did process the house for evidence of a stranger abduction or intrusion.

And there was no forced entry.

Of course, we had the FBI come down from Sacramento with their evidence response team and had them independent of the SNPD.

They processed the house.

And when they did that, of course, you know, I think there was a saying that you attorneys use evidence of absence is absence of evidence.

And there was no evidence that anybody else had come in that house.

So when you look at this situation, well, of course there's evidence there, but it's not the type of evidence that you would think of on a movie or something like that because they lived together.

They were married, so of course you're going to have her stuff there.

There was one spot of blood that was on the comforter that probably wouldn't have been there if Lacey was alive because Lacey was known as a fastidious housekeeper.

That blood spot was linked to Scott, of course.

Scott had a cut on his finger.

I don't remember which one it was, but one of them and which could be consistent with her scratching him or something like that as he's trying to suffocate her or strangle her in bed.

Now, whether or not she would defecate, whether or not she would urinate.

I mean, I don't know.

It just it all depends on that.

I don't think you could rule that out.

I don't think you could rule it in.

And I certainly wouldn't say that the absence of that, those two things would suggest that he couldn't have done it in there.
