Surgeon Grills Experts in Murder Trial
18 Sep
Summary
- Kosowski questioned DNA evidence in the men's bathroom.
- Cell phone data placed a device near a dumpster for one minute.
- Blood evidence suggested a forceful 'bloodletting event'.
In Pinellas County, former plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski, acting as his own defense, intensified his challenge to the prosecution's case in the murder trial of attorney Steven Cozzi. Kosowski began cross-examining state experts, focusing on the forensic evidence presented.
He specifically questioned a DNA analyst about the presence of his DNA in a bathroom, where prosecutors allege Cozzi was killed. The analyst testified that some results provided limited support, while others offered stronger support for Kosowski's DNA being in a mixture.
Kosowski also scrutinized FBI cell phone data from March 21, 2023, which indicated a device was near a specific dumpster for approximately one minute. Furthermore, he interrogated a witness regarding blood evidence found in the bathroom, which suggested a forceful "bloodletting event" with Cozzi near the floor.
