MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - Exhibit Y

 Although scopolamine was found in Amy's system, no trace of it was ever found in the Allwine home. 

MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - Exhibits X & Z

Amy suspected someone of being dogdaygod. And it wasn't Steve.

There was someone who fit the profile, including the fact that she had an alibi on the day of the murder. Besa Mafia recommended that dogdaygod be out and seen by people on the day of the murder, and of all the suspects, only one person did this. 

MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - Exhibits S, T, U & V

The prosecution tried to suggest that the scopolamine in Amy's system had been ingested at lunch--put in her food or drink by Steve--and that she had died in the afternoon. But there was evidence that Amy continued to drink throughout the afternoon and the scopolamine could have been ingested at any time. 

The washcloth that supposedly cleaned the blood in the hallway didn't even have a trace of blood on it.

The footprints left by Steve match the route he took when he came home and called 911, not the route he would have taken if he had been cleaning up a crime scene.

Based on the blood spatter, Amy's body was lifted from the hallway and moved to the bedroom by Steve. At 166 lbs and Amy at 239 lbs, this would have been physically impossible for him to do.

MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - Exhibits P, Q & R

Actual evidence didn't line up with the State's case. For example, the TOR browser needed to access the dark web wasn't installed on Steve's computer until November 2016. The prosecutor needed it to be on Steve's computer back in February if he was dogdaygod going to the Besa Mafia site. 

Other facts didn't line up with regards to gunshot residue and the bitcoin addresses.

MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - Exhibit O

The State said that a note that Steve had made on his iPhone on March 22nd synced to the Cloud on August 3rd. In fact, the note, containing the bitcoin address appeared in the Cloud and synced to Steve's phone. Had he truly been the one to make the note and then delete it, it would have been deleted from the Cloud by August 3rd. Furthermore, it would have synced immediately to the Cloud, not taken 4 and a half months. 

MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - time of death & scopolamine

 "... the testimony on time of death was then internally contradictory and misleading to the jury."

"... these results only provide a snapshot of her drug concentrations at death. They do not permit any reliable estimation of what dose or doses she took, or when she took the drug."

MALTREATMENT DETERMINATION - Exhibit C

Prosecutor Fred Fink said that, "it was absolutely vital for the State to prove 'dogdaygod' was, in fact, Stephen Allwine." It was only Mark Lanterman who suggested they were one and the same. The F.B.I. had previously investigated the case and did not connect the two.
