But I don't see where you're going with this question -- Avery's and Halbach's DNA are the only two they found, and they found it all in locations relevant to the presumed scenario. That it was all planted is the defense he presented at trial, not that they didn't find any.*
More importantly, they didn't find evidence of anyone else, so if the theory is that someone else murdered her on the property (per Avery's filing) then this becomes even more difficult to sustain, does it not?
This is why his third-party-liability claims are doomed except if he accuses Brandon of acting alone: there is no evidence of anyone else on the property (including Brandon, whose participation was very limited in my estimation) but they do have Brandon's admission of his involvement/presence.
* On this point, can someone tell me what the Avery team did with this information, if true? Like did they file any complaints with the lab licensing bodies, DOJ, the press, etc., that this was going on? Surely in ten years they might have found time to mention it to a higher authority and didn't just do nothing after that line of argument failed...?
