Forensic Analysis

2:38pm. Garry Veeder of the State Police Forensic Laboratory in Albany takes the stand.

-Veeder is meticulous about the way he handles evidence. 1) While on the witness stand, he would not open any evidence bag. Luckily (perhaps purposely), that part was already done by the previous witness. 2) He handles each piece of evidence with latex gloves. 3) He uses a fresh pair of gloves for each piece of evidence he handles. While this may not sound unusual under the circumstances, it is certainly a departure from what we've been seeing.

-Veeder testified that hairlike fibers taken into evidence (from Lennon's-Wilcox Jewelers) could have come from a glove also connected to the crime.

-Veeder is off the stand at 3:08pm.

They all are! He probably isnt as nervous as the local LEO. The local officers all have a personal connection to this case. Also I'm sure that he testifies on a regular basis as he is the forensics for the whole state.

All evidence should have been handled this way, no matter what the connection is.

I would think that DA would have that covered and I'm sure that he prepared all of these witnesses.

Hopefully so but when Heally appeals and if there is a retrial this could come back to haunt them. Why do you think the NYSP investigator handled the evidence that way ? He's been there and done that.

How can there be any doubt that Healy was at Lennons. He got caught. Jewelry in his pocket. I am not a dumb person, but why so much information about the gloves?

Reminds me of another trial where the defendant got 'off' cuz of the gloves....

Because she has nothing else to talk about but the glove. It is what it is this will not come back to haunt them. He was handcuffed outside of Byrne Dairy he was identified by the officers trying to flea before being captured. He also was casing Lennons and New Hartford for weeks prior to this. Case and Point if they didn't do the jewlery heist Joe Corr would be here today and his wife and family wouldnt be haunted by this!
