A police officer admits touching Ciara Glennon's hand at her bush grave while trying to take evidence samples.
When asked what he knew about DNA technology back in the 1990s, Sergeant McCulloch said his knowledge"very limited" but that had been guided by 'Locard's exchange principle' — which states when two objects come into contact, a transfer of material occurs.
The defence highlighted a series of inaccuracies in witness statements made by Sergeant McCulloch between 1997 and 2019 in relation to both the Karrakatta and Ms Glennon's case.
