On August 24th, 1995, two days after the opening arguments in Michael Chapel’s murder trial, Kelly Fite, of the GBI Crime Lab, a weapon and tool expert, not a serologist, authored a report wherein he stated that he marked what he considered bloodspots additional to those already marked on July 7, 1993 by GBI Serologist Jennifer Wilson on the raincoat in different colored ink. This photograph shows a small amount of detail on the raincoat.

 

 Fite testified he had seen those bloodspots on the raincoat on July 7th, 1993, the same day that Serologist Jennifer Wilson testified she tested the raincoat chemically for blood of human origin and found only 7 spots. Fite, on the other hand, circled dozens of spots that he indicated was high velocity blood spatter.

The production and timing of Fite’s report and the dates he throws around in his testimony makes it highly suspect; however there may be another explanation for any additional bloodspots on the raincoat.
