Either that or the expert's conclusion just doesn't help or hurt the prosecution case in any way and not worth the time/effort.
The prosecution never contended that Arias was holding a weapon in her hands when taking the shower photos. She could have had the knife in her waistband as User suggested. Or, she could have had the knife and gun hidden or in a purse anywhere upstairs and gotten to the weapons in a matter of seconds.
I'm relieved Martinez stipulated rather than go through the process of another expert witness on the stand. Hope I'm not underestimating how much value the defense can pump out of the stipulation.
