Specialists testified yesterday in the retrial of Terence Crosbie, 39, and explained the process of establishing possible contributors of genetic material.

Former Boston Police crime lab worker Jennifer Ozog testified that on March 16 last year, an evidence collection kit was submitted from a hospital, containing evidence from the alleged victim.

It contained oral, breast and vaginal swabs as well as head hair combings. Ozog testified none tested positive for semen.
