State lab results of DNA evidence from under the victims fingernails came back as NOT MALE DNA, other DNA was found that could not have come from the victim. If it's not male DNA and it did not come from the victim, it could only be FEMALE DNA. The prosecutor asked the state forensic expert if it could still be his DNA. The state forensic expert said, "Yes, it could still be his." The state made their case all about the victim defending herself from her attacker and told the defendant, "When the DNA results come back, we will prove you did this." After the results came back, the state filed a motion to preclude speculative evidence pointing to a third party. The doctors from the hospital found a strand of hair clenched in Brooklyn’s hand that was never tested, and the Medical Examiner stated that “The skin and head hair under Brooklyn’s fingernails had to have come from her attacker.” Ronald was bald. The DNA results from the skin and head hair came back as NOT MALE and could not have come from the victim. So whose DNA was under Brooklyn’s fingernails? The state refused to test the stepmother's DNA.
All the physical, emotional, and testimonial evidence points to the stepmother. Even the DNA evidence does. This defendant is a disabled veteran, who literally broke his neck while serving this country. He was a youth minister, Federal prison guard, Cav Scout for 11 years in the Army, and yet, during sentencing, the Judge said "I don't see anything in your life that warrants any kind of mercy".
Will you look into this case?
I have a lot more wrong with this case which I will include in the attachments like:

Some of the character witnesses were not called to the stand

We also have Juror misconduct for which I have the investigative report with all the exhibits.
