The Phenothyelene <sp> test does destroy the sample, however, it also shows a positive for blood when it is catsup. The rust in the drain of the shower would also have showed positive for blood, as old as the house was I'd say the plumbing had a bit of rust since they didn't take the plumbing out of the bathroom , there had to have been clear rust. Marcia Clark thought she'd get this in as presumptive testing knowing that it wasn't best evidence. It coat Darden some money if I remember correctly because he tried to intimidate Judge Ito because he was ruling for the defense one quarter or less of the time. They wanted these presumptive tests in. Most of the DNA they showed that seemed like a tower of evidence, was of the same spot or spots, mostly Rockingham, Marcia even used the blood on the tip of Ron Goldman's shoe, the same one Dr Lee said he saw the sock dripping onto the shoe. I have always wondered how Nicole's blood dripping on the shoe became O.J. Simpsons in the FBI LAB.
