Has there been any news beyond the fact that a second set of DNA tests is being conducted? Is it routine to have a second set of DNA tests, or is the DA just fishing?
Oh, I have "inside information" on that -- for a change!
At my birthday party last night, a member of my family reminded me that HE works at LabCorp and that they are the ones doing the "second" set of test.
They are doing the SAME tests that the SBI Lab did -- and most of them think he's just doing it to stetch out the time.
He said the results would be the same!
No, it's not unusual for two DNA tests to be ordered. Usually the second is ordered by the defense to verify the prosecutions match against a suspect. Not in ths case though....
For older cases when DNA couldn't be extracted at the time or only a partial DNA profile was found, additional tests are ordered to see if any genetic material left can produce a full profile. Obviously not in this case either.
