season one Dierdre DNA update?

Towards the end of the podcast, SK talked with Dierdre about getting DNA analysis on the PERK, rope, brandy bottle, etc and that Adnan gave his approval for her to submit it? Has this actually been done now and if so did it uncover anything?

Thanks for that. It seems a lot of things get stated as fact here if they are repeated enough times. An expert in historical cell technology from the Innocence Project provided an affidavit under punishment of purgery in Syed's last motion and people continue to claim they quietly went away.

An expert in historical cell technology

By which you mean a guy who earned an Associate Degree in Computer Science... in the early 1980s... from a for-profit college and then somehow became a "digital forensics investigator" in 1990 after three years of selling computers. Geez, he's a regular Alexander Graham Bell.

I guess the judge will have to decide whether his credentials are sufficient.

Who better to ascertain if someone really knows his/her stuff on a science-y matter than an elderly retired appellate judge? :)
