DNA - A Special Report

4-24-2008 National:

Remember this report: From DNA of Family, a Tool to Make Arrests

Scenario: Suppose a prosecutor could allege in a criminal proceeding for say robbery, that the defendant's DNA contains a marker which places him in the group of convicted felons who are known to commit robberies, and even though the defendant's DNA was not at the scene of the robbery, it is highly likely that he has committed the robbery because he was in the vicinity of the robbery.

Today this is not possible but stay tuned, because later today I will present a Special Report on DNA. The horizon is changing and it is getting scary.
