deciding whether 25-year-old
antolin garcia-torres murdered
sierra lamar.
the prosecutor says
garcia-torres' dna was found on
sierra's jeans discovered dumped
in a bag near her morgan hill
home.
but it was the defense team's
turn today and attorney al lopez
said dna protocol was not
followed and the bag was
contaminated.
>> i think the defense did a
good job in establishing that
the protocols of the dna
evidence collection were not
followed and the prosecution
will now have to shore that up
through their own experts.
>> reporter: defense attorneys
also tore apart the district
attorney's assertion that
garcia-torres tried to kidnap
three women separately in the
parking lots of two safeway
stores in morgan hill in 2009,
three years before sierra lamar
disappeared.
not one of the three victims
could pick out garcia-torres in
a photo lineup.
garcia-torres continued to look
composed as he listened to
attorneys talk about him and the
evidence that may or may not
lead to his conviction.
