Calculating the weight of evidence in low-template forensic DNA casework.

Journal of forensic sciences - 1 Jan 2013

Lohmueller Kirk E, Rudin Norah

Abstract excerpt

Interpreting and assessing the weight of low-template DNA evidence presents a formidable challenge in forensic casework. This report describes a case in which a similar mixed DNA profile was obtained from four different bloodstains. The defense proposed that the low-level minor profile came from an alternate suspect, the defendant's mistress. The strength of the evidence was assessed using a probabilistic...
