Seems the testing on Caylee's shorts/shirt and Whitney bag are finished and due back in 45 days...I wonder what will be found, if anything???

I just listened to the hearing again and I took it that the shorts, t shirt and laundry bag had not been sent out yet. Ashton had only yesterday, been given the signed stipulation (chain of custody waiver) from Baez. Ashton then said he thought the items "would go out today".
I doubt they will get any viable dna, not one that would yield a full profile.
That said, Caylee wore that t shirt whilst at Riccardo's. Cindy said she didnt recognize it. The baby may even have slept in it and we are told Caylee would sleep between Riccardo and MOTY. Indeed, MOTY might have worked that out, all on her ownsome. :waitasec: Is that their stab in the dark?
And would we ever find out, if they only found dna that matched a member of the Anthony family?
kriskross, the shirt (or what remains of it) are not included for the DNA testing.
I'm confused here :waitasec:
The thread title says DNA due back in 45 days but the first post says testing is finished. When did the testing begin?

Testing to be done at Pennsylvania lab
September 28, 2010|By Anthony Colarossi, Orlando SentinelThe judge in the Casey Anthony case filed an order today stating that he will allow DNA testing on a pair of shorts believed to belong to Caylee Anthony and a bag found with the remains of Anthony's dead daughter nearly two years ago.
But Chief Judge Belvin Perry maintains the tests will have to be done in the United States — not at a Dutch forensic lab where a defense-team DNA expert is based.
He decided the testing be done at National Medical Services, Criminalistics Laboratory in Willow Grove, Pa.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1011/29/ijvm.01.htmlVELEZ-MITCHELL: Tonight, Casey Anthony makes yet another appearance in court as her murder trial looms. The defense and the prosecution battle it out over expert witnesses. The prosecution wants to know if the defense is wining and dining their experts. They want to know what they`re getting paid, where they`re eating, where they`re staying.
Why do they want to know all that? Is the prosecution concerned that sweet perks could sway the experts` testimony in favor of the defense?
But hold on. I mean, these experts are hired by the defense. What do they expect? They`re defense experts. The no-nonsense judge well, quickly put the fight to rest. He ruled the prosecution will only get the cold hard facts that these expert witnesses have dug up. If they want to know where these experts are being taken out to dinner, he says, hey, ask them yourselves when you depose them.
The judge also made a very shocking announcement. DNA testing on the shorts little Caylee was wearing the night she was murdered. Plus a laundry bag -- crucial laundry bag found in the woods near her body. DNA testing on those items will be complete in 45 days. What will those DNA tests prove?
Straight out to my fantastic expert panel, we begin with Mark Eiglarsh. First of all, I`m wondering, this poor child`s body was found in December 2008. Why are we still waiting 45 days for the DNA test results on clothing that was found with her to come in? And what could --
Obviously if there is no trace of DNA for Caylee and something comes up for RK he would be ruled out because he found the remains. The shorts were in the trash bag so there should be Caylee's DNA found on them. If no DNA found from Caylee it would lead you to believe no other DNA would be found unless it was from the recovery of her remains. Any jury would make sense of that IMO. jmo
http://www.wftv.com/news/25921057/detail.htmlJudge Perry also ordered that the defense review of DNA evidence be completed within 45 days. The defense will also be required to give the state a list of witnesses, as a result of the EquuSearch document review, by December 31 and any depositions of those witnesses must be completed by March 2011.
Judge Perry also said that death penalty witnesses will be sealed for now from public release.
Also Monday, the defense said its campaign to discredit former meter reader Roy Kronk, who found Caylee's remains, might have been "premature" and it might be backing off its court argument that Kronk should be investigated as a suspect in Caylee's murder.
Monday's hearing was the second in two months that switched from a simple status conference to a motion hearing that required Casey's attendance.
Would it even matter if DNA from any of the Ant's was discovered on any of the items? I would think not since Caylee lived with these people it would only make sense that their DNA would have the opportunity to find its way to her clothing and to that laundry bag.

If they can find unknown DNA like the Ramsey case it might raise doubt in the minds of people who don't really understand how DNA is transferred.
But DNA from any, and I do mean any of the known players, means nothing because it could all have occurred in benign circumstance. Even unknown DNA could just be some guy that Casey was in contact with before touching an item, but unidentified DNA would be *somewhat* helpful to the defense.
Marginal in my opinion though.
