I heard Baden on Fox today say that the defense had to call a relatively unknown to testify against mitochondrial DNA testing because Lee and Weicht(sp?) probably would refuse to do so. It's an accepted method of testing DNA in the forensic community, according to Baden. He says that Lee and Weicht may still attack the method, possesion, handling, etc. at some future date.

Thanks for that report RG!! I too can't see Lee or Wecht challenging the validity of Mitochondrial DNA. We just want it to get in and all of the experts and Lawyer talking heads I've heard say that it will make it in.

Well, sorry, but I don't care what other posters I offend, I'm going to have to join the ranks of people who ask: "WHEN has this highly-touted expert, Dr. Henry Lee, EVER made a difference in a case?" He's so equivocal about literally everything. It's all a game, and even with his many degrees and his years of testifying (um, what DOES a person LEARN about his field by testifying, btw?), he resembles a traveling medicine show. His whole manner is a disgraceful cheapening of his obviously thorough and high-level education.
