Inspection report - visit to the scene, prepared by Commander Ziv Grimberg, P/74. Grimberg and his team arrived at the scene and, under the direction of Yoav Barkan, took samples of the IAF, as well as the development of an AI at the scene, as detailed in the report. A sketch of the scene made by Grimberg (P/74A) and his photographic disc at the scene (P/74B) were also submitted.
With regard to the traces - forensic investigator, fingerprint development laboratory, Superintendent Ziv Grimberg, A.T. 34 - the report of the examination of the scene was submitted (P/74, including a drawing of P/74A and a photographic disc P/74B); an examination report, dated April 7, 2021, regarding the knife (P/75).
He testified in court, at the hearing of 13 February 2023. At the beginning of his main interrogation, the witness clarified that the day and time appearing on the report of the examination of the scene, P/74 - 23 March 2021 at 17:30, relate to the date of receipt of the order, and that in fact, he arrived at the scene with his team, only the next morning. When he arrived there, he received the "stick" from Yoav Barkan, who instructed him what actions to take at the scene. Among other things, he photographed the scene before the work began on the evidence, and in particular, the fingerprints, including shoe prints and footprints that were found in the IDF. In total, according to him, 6 fingerprints were found, and trace 3, which was stamped with a knife, was taken from the kitchen floor (at the foot of the cabinet), which was accompanied by a drawing drawn up by the witness, P/74A. As to the knife's examination report, P/75, the witness stated that it was a folding knife, with a blade 6 cm long, which he saw with his own eyes that it was embedded in the knife. In the end, no fingerprints were found on it. In his cross-examination, the witness confirmed that the fingerprints that were sent to the laboratory, including one that was concealed, were not the original impressions, but rather their "Photoshop". During the work, Dr. Bublil, whom he heard on the speaker of the mobile phone (p. 563, para. 8), was consulted about the time that must be waited from the moment the sample is taken with a swab until it drips into a substance called "exagon", which examines whether it is indeed blood. The witness explained why he stated in the report that the VMD test knife was not used (although he said that it was one of the methods used in this type of exhibits) - because at that time the only device for performing the test, which is in the Jerusalem Forensic Division, was not in good working order. In any case, according to him, all four tests performed with the knife (white lighting, polylite lighting, durable or black, and a crystal violet test) came out negative, and no fingerprints were found on it (with enough ridges). The witness also confirmed that according to Barkan's instructions, only blood-stained fingerprints were taken (apparently because they lived in the house, all members of the same family. A.W.). His judgment, what to sample and where, is limited, and he adheres to the instructions he receives from Barkan. As for the handles of the doors of the house, the witness replied that according to the details of "actions at the scene" in the report, it appears that the method was used in the entire main entrance hall, including the door and the handle. He clarified, "I call the part, as a whole, the "door" of each door. As far as I'm concerned, it's also the handle, the lintel, everything" (pp. 570, 25-26), but no fingerprints were found on the handle. The back door, as well as its handle, were also sampled, as were the outside of the warehouse door. As to the division of labor between him and the two members of his team, the witness replied that on page 7 of the report there is a detail of the activity of each of them, and it can be said that he himself sketched the scene and photographed it and the fingerprints found in it, while his friends carried out the development, under his direction.
