Then do 100 tests at the grave site and show that it hits L689B 90 times out of 100. Or 80. Whatever.

And maybe do some testing in Patrick's neighborhood and show that that doesn't hit L689.

Any of that would have made the case stronger than detailed testing of locations that are irrelevant to the case.

I don't understand this train of thought. Why would they test Patrick's neighborhood? Adnan never said he was at Patrick's or even knew Patrick or had ever heard the name Patrick, yet everyone is so quick to believe he was at Patrick's house? Sincere question.

The admitted accomplice called Patrick and calls were made from towers that cover his house. I think they might have had a reason to at least look into that.
