Heading: Stains on defendant's shirt

Text: There was a pink stain on the left sleeve of defendant's shirt, which appeared to be similar in color to pink stains on the front of Tahisha's dress. Criminalist Lough was unable to determine what caused the pink stain on the shirt or whether that stain was caused by the same substance as the stains on Tahisha's dress. Lough could not find any expert who could compare the stains on the two articles of clothing, but a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) laboratory agreed to compare the stain on defendant's shirt to other substances provided by Lough in an attempt to find a match. The FBI laboratory was provided four of Tahisha's lipsticks, but they did not match the pink stain on defendant's shirt.
