Physical Evidence
Left glove recovered from the Honda Civic: Watkins described a major profile attributed to Tamerlan Tsarnaev and a minor profile inconclusive as to Jahar Tsarnaev; Weinreb disputed whether the motion covered this glove.
Watkins described the left glove as found on the Honda Civic's floor and said the identification of Sean Collier's blood on the gloves' exteriors would not be challenged. He attributed the left glove's major interior DNA profile to Tamerlan Tsarnaev and described its minor profile as inconclusive as to Jahar Tsarnaev. Watkins requested a hearing before that inconclusive result could be presented, while Weinreb disputed whether the written motion covered the left glove.
About
Weinreb argued that the gloves' exterior blood and interior DNA provided circumstantial identity evidence in Collier's killing, while acknowledging that the DNA could not determine who wore the gloves that night.
