It was claimed that there were questions regarding the appearance of other profiles (such as those of Ziv (Ze'ev) Grobner and Moshe Amos) in the laboratory's work file at an early stage, even before they were suspects, and in relation to the fact that Shai Peleg knew about a finding related to the defendant but may not have shared it with Dr. Bublil, which may indicate bias.
As for the coats, it is claimed that the profiles are complex and cannot be compared. Dr. Plutzky also explained that in many cases, mixed and complex profiles were found on the coats that are not comparable. The lack of the ability to analyze profiles does not mean that there is no profile at all, but that it could not be linked to any of the known people involved.
Let us therefore turn to discuss all of these arguments, with the order of matters being substantive.
The Coats
According to the claim, the jackets were located at night, on March 25, 2021, among the bushes in a vacation parking lot in Carmel Park, between the settlements of the Carmel Ridge and the Elyakim interchange (see Exhibit 138, p. 4, 07:10-07:09). The person who stopped at the scene was the investigating officer Anatoly Shklyar (12 May 2022, pp. 302, s. 24 ff.), who summoned detective crew members, one of whom found coats (P/399, P/399A, P/401, P/403, P/403A) that had been placed on the ground between the branches of a bush, and later a forensic agent was called to the scene who wrapped them. Anatoly Škliar arranged for them to be transferred to the province (but did not remember if he did it himself).
According to Dr. Nurit Buliel's opinion on one of the coats (Exhibit 26), a left pocket, a genetic profile of the deceased (the deceased's blood) was identified. In this regard, Dr. Bublil testified, 20 November 2022, pp. 1165 onwards (and see: C-26, P/420, P/420A, P/412A2), about other places in the coat that were sampled and where the profile was not located.
On the second coat (Exhibit 25, P/412A1), at first no genetic profile was found, and in any case no blood was found. However, a second opinion was requested, and the coat was re-examined. At this stage (in the left side sleeve, H-25), a profile was found according to which the possibility that he belonged to the deceased was not ruled out, while the possibility that the profile belonged to the defendant was ruled out.
