Note This evidence.
Second question is

Re: Need help/Opinion
Common sense must be telling you that any evidence confiscated 44 days after a crime is suspect. Has this case gone to trial? I need more info to help you. Feel free to call my office Monday the 9th. I'll be out of town from the 10th thru the 18th, but you can leave a message on my voice mail, or you can email me, too.
