Good find. That does indeed look pretty damning in the context of chain of custody. I’d be fairly shocked if a reasonable judge doesn’t tell the DA to go fuck themselves with anything yielded from “his backpack”, given that. But that’s also highly dependent on the judge.
You know that they’ve selected a judge non randomly. It’s safe to assume the judge is going to let this evidence in, but it’s possible that the appeals court will overrule them. I’m sure the defense is hoping for the best and planning for the worst.
