The new problem with DNA testing
02.27.10
Washington Monthly has a great piece on how DNA
evidence is turning out to be unreliable in certain situations. As
the article notes: "Where the DNA is often incomplete or degraded,
and there are few other clues to go on, the reliability of DNA
evidence plummets—a fact that jurors weighing such cases are
almost never told." A lot of science is covered-- worth the effort
to read closely.
