There is nothing wrong with the DNA they have - There is a report that LE has plenty of samples to use even if they have to run a fresh test. All 13 markers came up during a new test that was done in 2004. All the 13 markers came up due new technology and testing methods.
All this will be proven in court and chances are Karr's lawyers will get a nice sample to test in their own labs.
Let me see if I can find the story that says they have plenty of samples to test from.
hmm. so they claim to have all 13 markers now? where did you read that?
was the date of that "discovery" AFTER they received the letter from Karr?
the chain of custody for this whole DNA is going to be a huge part of this case.
Yeah, that was the DNA "X" that we had just found out about in court testimony from Beckner, I think, right before I started not paying much attention to the case anymore.
I did hear that they were able to process it for 13 markers (when I quit paying attention, seems like they only had 10 and needed 13), so they were finally able to run it through CODIS, but no matches. They continue to do that weekly. All I had heard all along was male Caucasian.
I will go back and check but I could swear that one of those last two articles you posted even said something about there NOT being lots of samples to use for further testing...
