Abrams: Tissue matches SOME of the genetic profile.

Larry: Word consistent is ambiguous. Probably don't have full 13 lotus match. (?) A partial profile could be important and could be one in millions or billions if they have a match of 9. Or they could be doing a different kind of testing.

Moses: I agree with Larry that a person wasn't excluded. How many loci is what will determine how important. If it's more than 6 and less than 13, it's relevant. It clearly eliminated all the other players but this one individual.

Yale: There are 2 issues. We don't know. Consistent with is ambiguous with. The judge has to determine how scientifically reliable that test is. Most people use DNA the same as a fingerprint. If it's a positive match...

Abrams: I would think the defense doesn't want to start to quibble over thousands. Maybe in court they will. The defense has said nothing happened. Now if they try to have this excluded, it feels like typically defense arguments.

Yale: Without seeing the rpeort, it's hard to say. Say the report says the girl was doing a lap dance with the person, then of course there's transference.

Susan: I don't think it's a big deal. How did her fingernail come off. We don't have DNA for the other two guys.

Abrams: She didn't suggest that either of the two accused strangled her. She seems to suggest it was the other person (this third person). WRAL put up the actual quotes. You see from it, #10, she says she's 90% sure -- looks like him without the mustache. Maybe I meant #9 - identifying Finnerty. Was he the first or second one to do that? No. And he didn't strangle her (she says).

Susan: You'd expect some bodily fluid DNA. Maybe #3 will be the sacrificial lamb.

Abrams: Is this enough? It depends on how definitive a match it is.

We are forgetting about the other three men who were there. They were not tested.
