Friday's Testimony & Some More Background Info
This case has some of the worst reporting I've ever come across; poorly written, incomplete... But, anyway, here's what went down in court yesterday and some other information that I've come across.
CSI Testimony
Crime scene investigators confirmed that that no blood or other material linking Barajas to the accident was found in the Barajas home when they searched it. I guess this means that they found nothing to substantiate that Barajas had been in his home following the accident and before he was taken to the hospital.

The defense attorney challenged the integrity of DNA collection at the scene upon cross-examination of crime scene investigators for hours as the testimony got heated in the courtroom.

Background
Earlier this week, prosecutors noted that Barajas' DNA was found on Banda's car, but his defense attorney says that's because he approached the car to see who was inside. (Ref: opening statements)
Barajas' brother Gabriel also told investigators that David Barajas told him he remembers some of what happened that night, but a lot of it is a blur. Ref: http://personal-injury-attorney-houston....ected.html
One thing I'm curious is about is whether or not Banda was even conscious when he was shot. This is the photo of his car immediately after the crash.

I don't expect David Barajas to take the stand in his own defense, but it will be interesting if he does.
