He does 1000s of DNA analyses every year. #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 5:57:38 PM

Merena says he compared the profile of the two stains on the top, they were "essentially identical." #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:01:48 PM
-
Merena says he compared that profile to the stain on the back. Says they were the same. #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:02:42 PM

Merena using a lot of technical language, I don't get it so I'm guessing the jurors don't either. #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:03:26 PM

Merena says he ultimately compared DNA profile from 3 carpet cuttings to DNA profiles from Jhessye's dad, sisters and #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:04:43 PM

When compared stain to #JericeHunter, Jhessye's dad and the girls it did not match their unique profiles.by Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:08:31 PM
-
Merena says he was able to determine the donor of the blood stain was from a child of Jhessye's mom and dad. #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:09:37 PM

If DNA didn't match any other kids but matched a child of #JericeHunter's and George Shockley I think it had to have come from Jhessye.by Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:11:31 PM

Merena says conclusion to who the donor was of the blood on the carpet. Says it indicates it's bio child of Hunter & Shockley...by Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:12:54 PM

And full sibling of the other daughter Shockley and Hunter had together. #jericehunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:13:04 PM
-
So without saying it's Jhessye's blood he pretty much just said it's Jhessye's blood. #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:13:34 PM

Jurors VERY interested, taking a lot of notes. #JericeHunterby Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:14:46 PM

Now looking at the profile from another stain on the carpet. Also consistent w/bio child of Hunter & Shockley and full sister of Jhessye's.by Elizabeth Erwin via twitter 4/14/2015 6:15:24 PM
