No that's not the conclusion. TH's DNA was on the bullet found in SA's garage.
They had what 89 contaminations out of some 50k tests? You do realize these are human beings not machines.
FWIW she's the same person who conducted the test that exonerated SA the first time. And she had to use the entire sample in that case also. She testified that had the control sample been similarly contaminated with her own DNA in that instance, she would have filed the same deviation request, for the same reason... because the actual evidence sample was not contaminated, and because she had no more sample to conduct another test.
Let's say she had more of the original sample from the bullet, so that she could re-do the test from the beginning. Do you think TH's DNA would no longer be found on the bullet? If you think so, you have a serious misunderstanding of exactly what happened.
