Garlasco murder, Palmegiani: “Albani’s expert report clarified very important points”

Rome, Dec. 12 (LaPresse) – “The first impression of the Albani expert report is that it clarified very important points. He stated that there could be compatibility, but he also spoke about the type of DNA, which is incomplete, degraded, and partial. In his conclusions, he stated that he cannot say whether it was a direct contact with the victim or indirect, and it is also impossible to determine how long ago this contact might have occurred. We are not saying that poor Chiara Poggi did not wash her hands, but it is necessary to consider how long the DNA of our client may have been present on an object she touched that morning.” This is what Armando Palmegiani, defense consultant for Andrea Sempio, said while entering the Genomica laboratory in Rome.
