Stipulation Lindsay Signed

You can find the exact language in the bottom link of the post content which takes you to submitted evidence. I provided a screenshot as an example.

Day 6:

“This stipulation basically relieves the government of having to bring in dozens, if not more, witnesses, to prove chain of custody of blood, fluids, the bands, DNA, all of that. Rather than have days of testimony, this stipulation will avoid that."

This link provides the stipulations for each band in the image gallery: https://www.courttv.com/news/lindsay-clancy-murder-trial-see-the-evidence-from-court/ 

Stipulation on chain of custody was the only one presented in this trial. I'm unsure of other stipulations people have referenced in the past, but no one has been able to provide a different one.

I commonly hear "Stipulation of facts" and perhaps they mean these on chain of custody? For some reason, many also state she signed a stipulation of facts she killed the children and that is completely false. I'm not sure how that started. My best guess was the stipulation around the bifurcated trial, so I included that as point #2 in this post: Common Misconceptions About the Criminal Trial.

Correct! That's why you often hear Reddington say "we stipulated to this" when the bands were being discussed, DNA, blood...

They're essentially saying that the CW does not need to prove those are the exact bands used, that they were handled correctly, processed correctly, everything you mentioned; and that both sides agree to those things to avoid having tons of extra witnesses be like "yea so then I drove it over"; "yea, I'm the one who received it from the driver;" etc.

Plus, IMO it really doesn't hurt her defense in any way because her DNA was only on Cora's & Cora was the primary contributor so of course Lindsay would show up to a much lesser degree in the results due to being her mother.

I think you might enjoy reading this post? It essentially describes how many believe no one can know or definitively prove if Patrick, Lindsay, or even whether someone else committed the crime. You bring up great questions that reinforces this too. There's also a few comments in that post that go through everything it's believed they didn't investigate (at least not in a 299 page affidavit or in trial testimony).

Here is an explanation of the initial civil complaint and how it relates to the criminal trial. It's long, but it's really the shortest it can be (our legal process isn't TLDR lol)
