it looks to me that ALL 13 locus parameters must be ID'd in a DNA profile submitted to the FBI for the NDIS (National DNA Index System), reading 6.5 at the link below. If (as generally acknowledged) Nifong has less than 13, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AS IDENTIFICATION TO THE FBI.

scrol to para 6.5, which includes a chart....
I was reading up on this yesterday. Not only did it say that 13 markers are necessary, it continued: Conversely, if there aren't 13 markers, the guy is innocent. So almost simply doesn't cut it as possible...it eliminates the person.
Very interesting. All 13 locus parameters are required to pick an individual out of a large population. But in this case, we're picking one player out of a population of less than 50. Would the less than 13 locus parameters be enough for a unique match in a limited population?
Thanks, VN.
Sac, ping to 154.
That isn't going to stop him from spinning it into an indictment.
Somebody needs to throw a net over this bastard.
