concern comes in. see if the blood matches the victims. that could have been contaminated. the other testing is going to be the type of blade compared to the type of wound, to see if that would be a match. and that one won't have as much issues with contamination but the dna would have concerns about that. >> double jeopardy absolutely attaches, he has been tried and acquitted by a jury of his peers, he cannot be tried again at this point even if more evidence comes out. i guess the only concern would be public perception if the people believe he might be innocent, but he cannot be tried again in a criminal court of law. he could face withholding evidence or tampering with evidence. as a police officer he should have known this is evidence in a murder investigation. the trial might have been oat ver but they had this as an open case. at that point they extended resources to find other suspects. they could have maybe put it
