London! Ahha! Listen, I’ve always been suspicious of that Dr. Who character. He always has a young woman with him but he changes them like underwear.

Not sure why, but this story reminds me of this from yesterday:

Interesting story. I had no idea that DNA testing had become so sensitive.

Actually, it’s frightening in a way when you consider how easily you could be framed for a crime based on DNA evidence planted carefully.

A scientist who designed lab methods for DNA analyses once said in an interview, that evidence in police labs is often polluted with careless work. He was ignored by most television viewers in political chatter, because the the O. J. Simpson case was going on back then.

Proper cleaning of equipment and supplies... not entirely a mystery. My thought was that the murderer planted the DNA under the fingernails, as a way to connect the crimes (a "calling card" perhaps?), or as a way to mock the police.

But then again, I watch waaaaay too many crime/law shows on TV. ;)

CSI-NY did an episode based on the German/French case with the 40 identical DNA samples turning out to be someone in a factory who manufactured equipment used in collection.
