THE COURT: All right. All right, so those stipulations may be entered as exhibits.

THE COURT: Counsel, do you want those published or read to the jury, or satisfied that they'll have those? The parties can refer to the contents of the stipulations.

THE COURT: That's on me. I kinda jumped in there. I'm sorry.

THE COURT: Sure. Yeah. We-

THE COURT: Well, you know what? I wanna read it.

THE COURT: All right? So that's what we'll do.

THE COURT: All right. So members of the jury, remember, I think it was yesterday or the day before, I talked a little bit about those stipulations. So the same instructions. All right? These are facts that we're gonna read that the parties have agreed to, that you can rely on in arriving at your verdict at the end of this case. This is one of four that was just introduced. You'll have all four of them with you back in the jury room when you deliberate. But, so let me just read this one stipulation. This doesn't mean this stipulation is any more important than any of the other ones. But the parties would like me to just read this one here. All right. So this is a stipulation regarding the DNA comparisons for the blue exercise band and the red-brown stain. It was marked A. In the above-captioned matter, the parties agree to the following facts as it pertains to the DNA comparisons for the blue exercise band and the red-brown stain A in the basement.

THE COURT: Number one, forensic scientist Emily Oliver reviewed and interpreted the data relating to the question items, paragraph, parentheses item two dash four, blue exercise band, and item three dash three, the red-brown stain A from the basement floor, close parentheses, and conducted comparison analysis to the known standards in this case. Number two, the parties agree to the following conclusions regarding comparison analysis of these items. A, item two dash four point one point one, sample from the ends of the blue exercise band. The DNA profile was interpreted as a mixture of three contributors. There are five individuals who have a likelihood ratio that indicates an inclusion in the profile. They are Dawson Clancy, Callan Clancy, Cora Clancy, Lindsay Clancy, and Patrick Clancy. B, item two dash four point two point one, sample from the middle of the blue exercise band. The DNA profile was interpreted as a mixture of three contributors. Callan Clancy is included as a major contributor. And C, item three dash three point one, sample of swabs from the red-brown stain A on the basement floor. The DNA profile was interpreted as originating from a single contributor. Cora Clancy is included as a contributor to this DNA profile. So that's the stipulation that the parties have agreed to. All right.

THE COURT: Okay. All right.

THE COURT: Stipulation approved.
