TexKat,
I see that TISSUE in the paper. I don't know how they explain the first lab then.
How do they miss that? When did that tissue come to rest on that nail? Assumming the SBI report says there was NO DNA found on that nail - like we were told - how do you say, Oh, we found some now. Yes, it matches the guy that Nifong was trying to indict for the last month or so.
I have to go, but I can't help but wonder
Does the SBI lab have different standards that the Private Lab chosen by Nifong?
In other words, does the SBI DNA lab have a policy that says we require a minimum of X genetic markers to indicate in a report that the DNA can be classified as identification of a suspect?
Is it possible the Private, for-profit, hand-picked lab has a lower threshold and no such policy. The Private lab MAY provide less certain classifications such as partial match or consistent with... etc.
I'm just trying to reconcile the first result with the second result.
People are calling it different things, tissue, matter, material.
We don't know what it is; but we know one thing, it ain't gonna turn out to be what Nifong says it is.
