State's Own Forensic Expert Shocks the Courtroom With Tara Baker Test Results

Twelve counts. Multiple charges alleging violence against Tara Baker. And the state's own forensic expert just told the jury what she found when she tested Tara Baker's evidence kit days after the murder. Jennifer Coursey worked at the GBI Crime Lab in 2001. She was the scientist who opened Tara Baker's evidence kit, examined the swabs, tested the fingernails, and analyzed the blood on a knife recovered from the scene. She's now the laboratory director at the US Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory with over 28 years of forensic experience. The prosecution called her to walk the jury through her original findings and explain how DNA testing has advanced since 2001. Watch what defense attorney Ahmed Cruz does on cross. He zeros in on the chain of custody for specific items in the kit, exposing gaps between Coursey's own notes and the official evidence tracking records. Then he presses Coursey on the difference between presumptive and confirmatory testing, and what it actually means when a test is never confirmed. Pay close attention to that exchange. ⏰ KEY MOMENTS 01:02 - State calls Jennifer Coursey to the stand 09:05 - Coursey explains DNA for the jury 16:22 - Testimony turns to the Tara Baker case and her findings 27:06 - Blood testing on fingernails and what the DNA showed 30:11 - The knife and what was found on it 42:08 - Defense begins cross-examination 54:17 - Cruz presses Coursey on what her tests can actually prove CASE BACKGROUND REPORT: https://www.justiceisaprocess.com/ga-... 📖 CASE BACKGROUND Tara Louise Baker was a first-year UGA law student from East Point, Georgia. On January 18, 2001, she was last seen at the law library and called a friend around 9:46 p.m. saying she planned to leave around 10. That was the last time anyone heard from her. The next morning, firefighters found Baker's body inside her burning off-campus apartment on Fawn Drive in Athens. She had been beaten, stabbed, strangled, and sexually assaulted. The fire was intentionally set. The only item taken was her laptop. She was one day from turning 24. The case went cold for 23 years. In 2023, the Coleman-Baker Act, named in part for Tara, created a GBI Cold Case Unit. That unit matched DNA from Baker's autopsy to Faust through the FBI's national database. Faust lived in Baker's neighborhood but was never a suspect. Investigators say they did not know each other.Defense attorney Ahmad R. Crews has challenged the DNA evidence and stated he believes Faust will be acquitted. 📂 PLAYLISTS & RESOURCES 🌐 Website: https://justiceisaprocess.com LIVE BROADCAST:    • LIVE BROADCAST: GA v. Edrick Faust   NO BREAKS EDITION:    • NO BREAKS EDITION: GA v. Edrick Faust   PODCAST:    • PODCAST: GA v. Edrick Faust   KEY MOMENTS AND TESTIMONY:    • Key Moments and Testimony: GA v. Edrick Faust   ► Subscribe for Daily Coverage:    / @justiceisaprocess   ⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS This channel continues the work of Steven M.
