a partial pair of jeans, and Exhibit 23 a sleeve, with Exhibits 22 and 23, pieces of
fabric taken from the Miracle Motors property. (Vol. LXXII, R. 87-89) Kidd
determined that the pieces of fabric in Exhibit 20 and 21 did not originate from
the pair of jeans or partial sleeve. (Vol. LXXII, R. 90) Kidd was then shown a
green jacket and label from a pair of Wrangler jeans taken from the burn barrel.
(Vol. LXXII, R. 91) Kidd did a comparison between the jacket and fibers taken out
of the Bonneville and determined that the green fibers in the Bonneville were
dissimilar to the fibers of the jacket. (Vol. LXXII, R. 92)
Kidd then determined that the fabric in Senior’s Exhibit Number 26 was
dissimilar to the jeans in People’s Exhibit Number 22. (Karyn’s partial jeans)
(Vol. LXXII, R. 93) Kidd also compared Senior’s Exhibit Number 34, metal
fasteners found in the burn barrel, to the metal fasteners taken from Karyn’s
jeans and determined that they did not originate from Exhibit 34. (Vol. LXXII, R.
94-95) Similarly, Kidd did comparisons of other metal fasteners found at Miracle
Motors to Karyn’s jeans and determined that they were dissimilar. (Vol. LXXII, R.
