“Your testimony is going to be critical, because in his original statement Pétit claimed he never laid eyes on that saw. An analyst from your lab is going to testify that she removed the handle and found minute traces of blood in one of the screw grooves.” I knew all of this from the previous night’s discussion. Cloutier was verbalizing the case against Pétit as much for her sake as for mine.
“A DNA expert is going to testify that the blood is Pétit’s. That ties him to the saw.”
“And I tie the saw to the victim,” I said.
Cloutier nodded. “This judge is a real pisser about qualifying experts.”
“Aren’t they all?”
Cloutier flicked a nervous smile. “The bailiff will call you in about five minutes.”
