But tissue is made of cells. The talking heads can be saying "tissue" when in fact it's merely a single skin cell or two resulting from casual transfer. If the similarity between the evidence at the exemplar isn't within the guideline to be deemed a "match", it would be prejudicial of the judge to allow it in. Of course, selling it to the GJ as a "match" is a much simpler matter, and isn't regulated by the court. It's only regulated by the ethical standards of the prosecutor, Since the prosecutor has no ethical standards, rest assured that the test results, no matter how weak, will be spun as a "match" by Nifong to the GJ.

So they couldn't match all 13 loci. So my question is: did they recover all 13 loci from the nail and some of the 13 not match or could they NOT recover all 13 loci from the nail and THAT's the reason for the partial match.

What I'm getting at, if there was a very small amount of "tissue", wouldn't that increase the difficulty of recovery. In other words, the "tissue" was just a trace?
