Burnt paper in apartment trash

Evidence Inconclusive Circumstantial News copy physical

Faumuina: a burnt note in a trash can at the residence. State implied a comparison to the keyboard note. Defense objected; prosecutors moved on after a sidebar. Not developed in open court.

A burnt scrap is consistent with destroying the keyboard note. It is also consistent with burning anything. Until handwriting, remaining text, or a lab comparison is public, this stays a hint the state started and then dropped in the hearing.
