Simmons - The Evidence

11:54am. Michael Simmons of the Oneida Co. Sheriff's Department takes the stand.

-As has been the case for most of the day, we review the evidence-gathering process (including, but not limited to, how items were discovered, photographed, tagged, logged, stored, and analyzed).

-Wittman: "Why is there no Sheriff's Department evidence tag on People's #76 (a glove)?" Wittman is pointing out some apparent differences in the way a glove and a winter hat were collected compared to the process for other evidence.

-There is difficulty in this testimony determining where specific evidence was located between February 28 and March 2, 2006.

12:16pm. On re-direct, Hernon asks Simmons to identify Healy as the person from whom he obtained an oral swab.

-Hernon's questioning attempts to strengthen the details of the evidence-gathering process. Glove evidence (referred to as People's #76) was located at New York State Police lab during time in question.

Simmons is off the stand at 12:23pm.
