He is charged with fatally shooting two people and injuring a third inside a Princeton residence in March 2013.
Cockle testified the stains on the right thigh of the jeans is consistent with those produced when a bullet enters a human body.
She says a large calibre handgun would produce a level of force that would create high energy spatter stains.
