Some of the evidence given that was not in the series was not presented at trial, so I agree in leaving it out. The jury didn't hear it, so in documenting how the trial progressed it was a fair call.
The DNA on the hood is interesting. It didn't have to come from sweat, one could rub a sock or other piece of unlaundered clothing and transfer DNA. It is interesting to me that they didn't find any DNA traces elsewhere on the vehicle (battery cables, interior, etc.) which tends to make me think this too was planted post "confession".
I also have read of cases where cleaning was done and they could still find evidence or could find evidence of chemicals, neither was presented in this case from what I can find.
I tend to think that perhaps Bobby Dassey was the culprit, explaining the inconsistency in his timeline and story, and that Brendan may have been coached to implicate Stephen then got suckered in himself. They did find bone fragments and evidence in the burn barrel behind the Dassey home.
