Right glove recovered from the Honda Civic: Watkins described an interior DNA mixture with at least three contributors; Weinreb described DNA matching two individuals. Both sides discussed proposed evidence linking the brothers to the glove, and the defense did not challenge the identification of Sean Collier's blood on its exterior.
Watkins described the right golf glove as recovered from the Honda Civic and said the defense would not challenge the identification of Sean Collier's blood on its exterior. Watkins described an interior mixture with at least three contributors and neither brother excluded as a possible donor, while Weinreb described DNA matching two individuals. The defense sought exclusion over statistical support, disclosure timing, confusion and prejudice, while Weinreb argued that TrueAllele results supplied the needed statistical analysis.

Weinreb argued that the exterior blood and proposed interior DNA evidence helped identify the brothers as participants in Collier's murder. Watkins disputed the added value of the interior DNA evidence, and Weinreb acknowledged that the analysis could not establish when either brother wore the glove.
