How convenient for John Edwards.
Watch where you throw that used chewing gum.
I imagine the publishers of the journal “Forensic Science International: Genetics” will become instantly rich as every defense lawyer in the country if not the world will be obtaining the article to use in the defense of his client.
Didn’t James Ellroy already point that out in “Street Kings”?
Sure, anyone with unfettered access to a blood centrifuge, and the equipment, knowledge, and skills to perform genome amplification, then cut the snippets to the exact amount, and mix them to a scientifically perfect degree.
Yeah, I see that all the time.
So is “CSI” gonna be cancelled? I don’t care about the “Miami” one, but they should keep the “NY” one. I’d just like the see Horatio Cain’s boss say from behind the sunglasses, “Horatio....you’re....cancelled”.
ROFLOL, sure, easy to obtain sperm and plant it on the victim. LOL
Kits to create fake fingerprint imprints have been available for a long time. With some kits you end up with a rubber glove that you wear...you moisten it with an oily little rag that comes with the kit and can leave all the prints you like.
I can see some biology geek setting up shop to sell DNA samples like are described in this article.
I suppose you could gather a bunch of hair from the dumpster behind a barber shop/salon and just spread them around a crime scene to sow confusion...what a mess! :-)
DNA is a lot easier to plant at a crime scene than fingerprints, she said. Were creating a criminal justice system that is increasingly relying on this technology.
Scary world out there, so become a lawyer and cash on it.

Oh great. The trial lawyers will just love this.
Every “CSI” storyline just became suspect.
