Part 3: EVIDENCE
Shoe Prints
On the exterior right door of Robin's car, a partial shoe impression was found. Another print was found near the centre of the dash.
Chris Dennis's shoes were never examined. Maurice Mason's shoes were but the prints were not of sufficient quality to make definitive identification, nevertheless, the State relied on this evidence in closing argument. Maurice Mason was denied an independent expert witness.
Panties
Panties were recovered from the trunk of Robin's car, this second pair of panties also had semen on them. No analysis of this semen was ever done. Mason's requests for expert analysis of this semen was denied. Mason's semen was found in Robin's panties when she was found.
According to the State's expert, the location of the semen indicated that it must have been deposited while the panties were pulled up, indicating that Robin had the panties on after having sex, and was not killed immediately aterwards.
When found, Robin's panties were pulled down to her ankles, with her jeans. There was no evidence of trauma to her genitalia, or any other evidence indicating that she had engaged in anything but consensual sex.
Robin's Jacket
A black jacket belonging to Robin was also recovered from the shed. the coat was covered with mud and plant material, which appeared to be thistles and burs. None of Mason's clothing had thistles, burs, or mud, when it was sent for testing, it all came back clean.
Bruising on Chris Dennis's hands
Shortly after Robin's disappearance, a friend of Chris Dennis observed that Chris's hands were bruised and banged up, when Chris visited his home. Chris said that he had beat the walls of his house, and that was how his hands became bruised.
Maurice Mason had no bruising or damage to his hands at all.
