I thought genetic genealogy is done through hundreds of thousands of markers, compared to CODIS which uses dozens of markers.
maybe it is, maybe someone is lying. The first time they claimed there was a 40% chance, when really it could have been anyone.
now they claim it is an unreasonably high probability it is this guy. I am tempted to believe it is the Sheriff who killed her, and contaminated the sample.
Originally Maurita Howarth, a forensic serologist with the Texas Department of Public Safety, testified that she had analyzed blood, semen, and hair samples taken from the victim’s body, Mr. Criner, and the truck. None of the hair found on Deanna’s body belonged to Mr. Criner, and none of the hair found in the truck belonged to Deanna.
Ms. Howarth further testified that serology testing on the semen from the vaginal and rectal swabs contained a blood type group that Deanna and Mr. Criner both had. Based on this, the analyst said that the sample could have belonged to Mr. Criner or any of the 40% of men who shared the blood type.
This testimony was incorrect, however, because the victim’s blood group markers could have been “masking” the perpetrator’s. In fact, 100% of the male population could have been included.
I have never been to Texas, but I have talked to enough people there about the corrupt legal system that I have my doubts about a lot of it.
I used to watch Springer sometimes and every time the girl said I am 200% sure or 1000% sure or anything over 100% they were always without fail wrong.
