“Actually studies have proven that his nephew was no where around when the children were fathered, but letters and other documents show that Thomas Jefferson was always at Monticello during the conception of Sally Hemmings white children.”

Another point of view:

The science is inconclusive. The evidence is not sufficient to prove paternity in a court of law.

We know that his brother wasn’t there during her times of conception, but Jefferson was.

The Carr nephews were ruled out due to DNA.

>> The evidence is not sufficient to prove paternity in a court of law <<

Depends on the exact charges (civil or criminal), the damages alleged, the abilities of both the prosecutor and the defense counsel, the mindset of the judge and the colective IQ of the jury.

But anyway, here’s my summary:

1. Beyond a reasonable doubt? No way.

2. Clear and convincing evidence? Not quite, but almost.

3. Preponderance of the evidence? Probably so.
