Evidence includes a rifle found near the scene, though the defense questions DNA links to the weapon and a nearby towel. Forensic experts stand by the reliability of DNA testing, and a judge’s imminent ruling will decide if the trial moves forward — with the public release of the roommate’s statements still sparking legal and ethical debate.
