Odd ‘Steph Curry’ bid in jogger case

A lawyer for the accused killer of a Queens jogger rolled out the Steph Curry defense — and appropriately, it was a long shot.

The three-point shooting Golden State Warriors star was invoked by the attorney for defendant Chanel Lewis as she attempted to explain how her client's DNA could surface on the body of murder victim Karina Vetrano without his ever laying a hand on the Howard Beach runner.

"Steph Curry passes (the ball) to Kevin Durant, who shoots, makes a threepointer,” said defense attorney Jennie Cheung during her crossexamination of prosecution DNA expert Linda Razzano.

“(Durant) goes to get his water bottle. It's possible for Steph Curry to get DNA on that bottle?"

Assistant District Attorney Brad Leventhal vehemently objected to the analogy, while Judge Michaelo Aloise asked the witness, “Are you following this?”

"I do follow," answered Razzano, who acknowledged the scenario was possible.

Cheung said her question was asked to both illustrate her point about DNA transfer and to grab the jury's attention in the seventh day of the trial.

The prosecution rested its case, followed quickly by the defense, with closing arguments in the brutal murder case now set for Monday morning in Queens Supreme Court. Vetrano, 30, was sexually attacked and savagely killed as she went jogging in a park near her Howard Beach home on Aug. 2, 2016.

Razzano testified Thursday that DNA samples taken from Lewis before his February 2017 arrest matched up with samples taken by investigators from Vetrano's neck and cell phone.

Razzano also said a mix of DNA recovered from beneath the victim's fingernails implicated the 22-year-old suspect as well.

The defense called just a single witness who spent about 10 minutes on the stand after the prosecution objected to her testimony.
