How are LGC Forensics collecting anything from Joanna Yeates body as it lies in situ???
...
I cannot see why and how they would collect such material before Dr Delaney got to the scene!!!
Isn't it for the pathologist to see the body before ANYONE touches it?
...
Her body is taken from the scene at 4:45pm if I remember correctly and Dr Delaney doesn't get to see her till 6:00pm at the mortuary..
So is that normal for LGC Forensics to start taking samples from a FROZEN body????
Or (IMO) is that why Andrew Mott said that he had to stop a body from thawing, so it was even possible for anyone to take a sample...
I'm sure I remember one of them saying they removed her clothing.. if that was the case, how did they remove clothing from a frozen body that would have been frozen in the foetal position?????
How did they take the DNA sample from the back of her jeans when she was frozen in the foetal position???? why not her waist band???
How many samples did they take from the jeans and where all these samples labelled from the areas that they were taken from?????
Nobody except Andrew Mott and Dr Delaney claimed to have touched the body until long after it was in the mortuary. Dr Delaney testified that he began his post-mortem on Boxing day, which sounds reasonable to me. Presumably it had reached mortuary temperature by then, so it was not frozen. He also told the court that he washed her body in cold water. He said nothing about taking samples of surface fluids for DNA testing, but, if this were done, as is claimed, then there is no reason to believe it wasn't he who did it, even if the actual testing of the samples were done in LGC's laboratory.
It was Joanna's parents who identified her body.
There is nothing inconsistent in Lindsay Lennen's claims in interviews with journalists that a colleague of hers collected Joanna's clothes for analysis on Boxing day. Dr. Delaney would have had to remove these anyway so as to wash the body.
None of the testimony in court shows that Joanna was wearing the same clothes in the pub. On the contrary, there are lot of signs that she wasn't - and IMO this is very significant.
I don't believe anyone's DNA (not even Greg's) was taken until after the body was found, whatever CJ may have suggested in one of his many interviews. After the body was found, anyone known to have been in the flat who was readily available for swab-taking would have had their DNA taken, as matter of routine, without this even being reported.
