In court and in a memo filed this summer, prosecutors contended: Two of the unidentified hairs could have been in the house long before the murders and could have come from anyone who had been in there. The hair from Kristen's fingernail scrapings may be from someone who handled the evidence and accidentally contaminated it. It wasn't listed among the evidence until five months after the murders. Further, Kristen's fingernails were bloody, but no blood was found on the hair. MacDonald had a stab wound, evidently from an ice pick, that punctured his lung. His wife had 37 stab wounds, some from an ice pick, some from a knife, and was beaten. She had two broken arms and a fractured skull. His older daughter had a fractured skull and eight to 10 stab wounds. His younger daughter had 27 stab wounds.........U.S. District Judge James C. Fox conducted the evidentiary hearing last fall and is reviewing the case. No date is set for him to rule."
