A massive sleight of hand. The so-called speck could just as easily be a shadow. As the latex gloves are ipso facto sterile when put on there is zero way Sollecito's DNA could have got onto the glove and then transferred to the inner bend of the bra hook. When the forensic police went in, the whole operation was witnessed by the defence observers in a live stream van outside. The cops in the van said the defence witnesses started creating a fuss straight away. That is their job. It is what they are paid to do. The issue of contamination was ruled out by Massei and Nencini using top geneticist experts. Hellman appointed Conti & Vecchiotti egregiously and unusually. Chieffi Supreme Court criticised Hellmann for failing to explain why he appointed new independent expert witnesses when the Massei ones were equally well-qualified and possibly more so, as court protocol required him to explain his rationale for their appointment. C&V were caught red-handed by the Carabinieri compiling a secret DVD to aid the defence. Yes, the Carabinieiri screamed up to C&V's office to confiscate their illicit DVD. Hellmann was FORCED to summons C&V before him to explain themselves (he had to, their having been caught by the military police). As you know, during a live trial or appeal, ALL parties are entitled at every stage to know what is happening. C&V did not make an application to the Court to initiate a DVD for the defence, and the prosecution had the legal right to object to such an application. C&V were advocating for the defence, when they were supposed to be independent. C&V were advised by shady characters in the USA, their report riddled with references to, for example, a US County Traffic Handbook, plus C&V were arguing US standards were not applied, as if US standards were superior to Italy's when they are not. This is why Chieffi called C&V intellectually dishonest. And sent the issue back but this time with a new court all together (Nencini).
So the defence's golden calf the so-called 'dirty glove' haha, is a complete defence legerdemain, not dissimilar to the OJ Simpson glove derail.
It's bollocks, as at no stage did they make any effort to explain what path a contamination could take in that specific scenario. Remember, the court's function is to make a decision. Hellmann was excoriated for talking about 'possibilities', completely inexperienced in Serious Crime cases, and, like one poster here, brushed off each piece of evidence one by one, piecemeal, instead of looking at ALL of the evidence as a whole and only when ALL of the evidence has been presented. In fact, Hellmann started his summing with 'Anything is possible!' Totally bent or incompetent. Or both.
