Defense questions DNA on phone base
Defense attorney Michael Gardina shows a photo of the phone base which Brenda Smith swabbed for DNA.
There were a mixture of at least three people who contributed DNA to that found on the phone base. Everyone in the family including Brothers was eliminated except for Marques Harper. The handset of the phone was missing when investigators searched the house. The prosecutor has presented evidence that Joanie Harper believed Marques Harper hid the handset for the phone in the days before her death. The other contributors were not identified. The defense believes someone other than Brothers killed the family and points to unidentified DNA and fingerprints at the house where the family was killed as proof. 2 comments from 2 users

Ditto anonymous!!
Who were those three visitors out to the house before the killings anyway?
Hello! unidentified "male-female" mixtures, gum wrappers?
Nah - too much for one person to handle
