The Shell Casing - The Evidence Juan Had But Didn't Test To Prove Guilt Beyond A Reasonable Doubt.

The article below discusses in great detail how to lift a latent finger print from a shell casing after the casing has been fired.

Read Phase II starting on page 8.

Since Juan DID in fact have the opportunity to test the shell casing discussed in the article above to prove beyond doubt that Jodi had staged the burglary and used the stolen gun to shot Travis premed then he is guilty of Prosecutorial Misconduct - Inculpatory Evidence because he had the ability to prove guilt but did not. He most likely did not have the shell casing tested for latent fingerprints because it could have been proven that the casing had not come from the stolen gun. Even if Jodi had purchased round ammo to replace the hollow points with her finger prints would have been on the shell casing and therefore able to be lifted to determine guilt.

Inculpatory Evidence - Inculpatory evidence is evidence that shows, or tends to show, a person's involvement in an act, or evidence that can establish guilt. In criminal law, the prosecution has a duty to provide all evidence to the defense, whether it favors the prosecution's case or the defendant's case.

Since Juan did not test the shell casing based on the article above he is guilty of Prosecutorial Misconduct under Exculpatory Evidence because he actually withheld evidence or a process of testing evidence that would have possibly exonerated Jodi in having planned the murder of Travis.

Exculpatory Evidence - Exculpatory Evidence is evidence favorable to the defendant in a criminal trial that exonerates or tends to exonerate the defendant of guilt.[1] It is the opposite of inculpatory evidence, which tends to prove guilt.

Could the reason that Juan didn't have the shell casing tested for latent prints is that those prints might not be Travis or Jodi's but someones who might have been involved with a Blood Atonement Ritual involving Travis? Could the prints on the shell casing match the prints on the banister which is why the banister had been cleaned? Maybe Jodi's intruder testimony is correct.

By not testing the shell casing Juan also withheld evidence from the jury so that they wouldn't be able to make an accurate determination of guilt or no guilt based on physical evidence but only evidence that Juan wanted the jury and the defense to see.

I also have to wonder if the reason why Juan did not have the shell casing tested for latent prints is that the prints might have belonged to someone else possibly involved with a Blood Atonement Ritual regarding Travis and had left behind their prints on the banister which would have been the reason why the banister had been slick as if someone had cleaned it recently. To keep a set of prints easily lifted from being brought into the trial as the reason to why the prints were there in the first place. Lifting prints from the shell casing might be difficult but lifting prints from a banister is like chicken in a pie.

And this is in relation to what exactly?

yes, is there any info on the case this is in reference to???

I think the OP may be speaking on this:

Murder of Travis Alexander

Just a guess...

good find, should have been mentioned in the original post

a reply to: Dryson

Question: If I am understanding Blood Atonement Ritual correctly, what did Travis allegedly do to have the need for this ritual to be brought upon him? What "crime" did he commit?
Question: Is there proof that the bannister had been cleaned?
Reason for that question is that having lived in a house with a bannister, I don't recall it being "dusty" or dirty. Hands using it kept it clean, so to speak...

ETA: I DO agree that the shell casing should have been tested. Not because I think she is innocent but, because when lives (the loss of one and future of another) are involved EVERYTHING that can be done, should be done.
I know that is naive as that is NOT the way the world works but, the way I wish it did!

According to Mormon doctrine he was living a life if sin with Jodi where he was having constant out of marriage sex with her. Travis didn't consider anal and oral sex to be sex but according to the Mormon faith it is sex and a sin. Travis violated their doctrine first with Deanna Reid who confessed to having out of wed lock sex with Travis long before Travis even met Jodi. Deanna asked Travis if he was going to marry her and Travis said No.

There were other instances where Travis had an affair with a separated woman, Shannon Crabtree, as well as grabbing the butt of another girlfriend in public for to many times for her liking. Then of course there is the sex that Travis had with Jodi numerous times out of wed lock where once again Travis wouldn't marry Jodi. Last but not least there is the pron related issues with Travis.

All of these sexcapades that Travis had are against Mormon doctrine. There are religious nutjobs out there in all religions that do not deviate from their doctrine at all. Such people are demented and maniacal because they see someone like Travis doing what he did that violates their religious doctrine and they suddenly snap thinking they can make the person submit to them before them as a defender of their faith to become rich and for no other reason. If someone like Travis who breaks the doctrine might seem like a shelter for others a safe haven of sorts where an oppressed person can find relief in knowing that they would be free with Travis. Such a person would take away from the monetary scheme of the Mormon faith.

In order to make certain that the rich of the church are making their money from all of the members of their faith. They would have no choice but to kill someone like Travis in order to ensure that their doctrine of no sex before wedlock was adhered to. Such people kill people like Travis then blame Jodi to cover up their own involvement and lies. When the person who is set up, like Jodi, is close to being found to have been innocent, the faith then invokes words like Satan or the devil to make the community fear Jodi thus keeping the blame set around Jodi and the real murderers from being discovered that would lead back to the Mormon Faith killing Travis based on greed on money where a Blood Atonement Ritual is used by the maniacal to try and cover up their justification for murder.

No the reason why the shell casing should have been tested is because that is the procedure established by the courts to ensure that innocent people are convicted and then murdered. Evidence testing came into play after the Salem Witch Trial Murders where innocent women of the village of Salem Mass. were forced to confessed to being witches and that their witchcraft was the reason for the villagers sickness and deaths.

The women were convicted and then burned, murdered, at the stake. Later scientific evidence proved that a bacteria on the crops had caused all of the problems that the women had been blamed for and murdered because of.

The same is true with Jodi's case. The shell casing was not tested because it might have proven self defense, the porn on the laptop was used to make Jodi into an absolute liar on the stand during the trial and was probably the reason why the jury found her guilty. After Jodi was convicted Mesa PD acknowledged that they had knew the entire time that the porn had been on the laptop. Why would Mesa PD withhold this evidence? So that Juan could flail his arms around acting if God had come into him and given him the power to prove Jodi had killed Travis just because he believed she did. No different than the Salem Witch Trials.

Science would have proven Juan wrong or correct as well as Jodi based on the testing of the shell casing for latent fingerprints. Juan is a religious nut job that believes the apparitions in his mind are telling him the truth when science would have proven him to be 100% correct or 100% wrong.

How could the Hughes, Juan, Nurmi and the rest of the Ponzi Schemers selling books based off of the trial have built their Ponzi Pyramid if the shell casing proved right away that Jodi was guilty or lying? If Jodi's prints would have been found on the print or her prints would not have been found at all but Travis prints then the case would have been over in a few weeks. There would not have been enough fanfare for dramatic flare to be added to the trial to sell books from. That is why the trial was a Ponzi Scheme. The trial wasn't about justice it was about dragging the trial out for as long as possible so the vile and corrupt could sell books based off of the trial.
