Defence in the trial of a teen accused of the murder of a WABC newsman in a sexual encounter poorly oriented challenged post-crime investigation today, suggesting that it was made selectively to put the defendant in a negative light.

In cross-examination, defence attorney Jeffrey Schwartz has asked why researchers at the scene of the crime had not checked the presumed murder weapon, a knife, fingerprints or established its connection with the crime.

The indictment also submitted medical records showing that Katehis negative test for cocaine on the evening of the crime.Which contradicts a statement by the defendant to police that Weber had given him the cocaine, which made him "paranoid."

After the judge sent the Board outside the courtroom, Schwartz said the collection of fingerprints is selectively step only because knife was not assessed, but also because major objects - such as condom wrappers and a bottle of lubricant - tested for impressions.

Schwartz said that it can submit testimony by father Katehis, stating that he had a second knife in the room would have been on a table, which was never collected by the détectives.Schwartz also said Katehis is wiped not for other sexual fluids on the night of the said crime.Schwartz investigators at the scene of the crime actions indicate that they have played what he calls "reductions, effective" that dictates that the person with the most injuries is the victim.
