FORT EDWARD -Testimony in the Matthew Slocum murder trial onMonday revolved mostly around blood and DNA recovered from evidence. <\/p>\n
State Police DNA expert Daniel Myers testified about the presence of DNA on Loretta Colegrove's blood spattered tank top. Myers told the jury that the blood belonged to murder victim, Lisa Harrington. <\/p>\n
Myers was also asked about the presence of DNA on the suspected murder weapon, a 12-gauge shotgun. He testified that it had Lisa and Dan Harrington's DNA, and someone else's, but tests couldn't determine whose it was. <\/p>\n
According to Myers, only one piece of evidence had Slocum's genetic material: a cellphone that belonged to murder victim Josh O'Brien. <\/p>\n
The phone was found under the porch in New Hampshire where Slocum was allegedly hiding out after the July 13th murders and arson. <\/p>\n
A New Hampshire state trooper testified to finding the phone and other items, including several knives, prosecutors say were taken from the Turnpike Road home by Slocum. <\/p>\n
A New York State Police investigator testified about the location along Massachusetts State Route 2 where some of Dan and Lisa Harrington's guns were found. <\/p>\n
Inv. Tim Northrup identified nine weapons that were recovered from the woods in the Town of Florida, allegedly dumped there by Slocum and Colegrove. <\/p>\n
Testimony ended when a CPS caseworker told the jury that Slocum told her Colegrove had nothing to do with the murders. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
