Download or read book The Evaluation of Forensic DNA Evidence written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-01-12 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992 the National Research Council issued DNA Technology in Forensic Science, a book that documented the state of the art in this emerging field. Recently, this volume was brought to worldwide attention in the murder trial of celebrity O. J. Simpson. The Evaluation of Forensic DNA Evidence reports on developments in population genetics and statistics since the original volume was published. The committee comments on statements in the original book that proved controversial or that have been misapplied in the courts. This volume offers recommendations for handling DNA samples, performing calculations, and other aspects of using DNA as a forensic toolâ€"modifying some recommendations presented in the 1992 volume. The update addresses two major areas: Determination of DNA profiles. The committee considers how laboratory errors (particularly false matches) can arise, how errors might be reduced, and how to take into account the fact that the error rate can never be reduced to zero. Interpretation of a finding that the DNA profile of a suspect or victim matches the evidence DNA. The committee addresses controversies in population genetics, exploring the problems that arise from the mixture of groups and subgroups in the American population and how this substructure can be accounted for in calculating frequencies. This volume examines statistical issues in interpreting frequencies as probabilities, including adjustments when a suspect is found through a database search. The committee includes a detailed discussion of what its recommendations would mean in the courtroom, with numerous case citations. By resolving several remaining issues in the evaluation of this increasingly important area of forensic evidence, this technical update will be important to forensic scientists and population geneticistsâ€"and helpful to attorneys, judges, and others who need to understand DNA and the law. Anyone working in laboratories and in the courts or anyone studying this issue should own this book.

Book Synopsis The Future of Forensic DNA Testing by : Us Department of Justice
Download or read book The Future of Forensic DNA Testing written by Us Department of Justice and published by . This book was released on 2005-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence was created in 1998 at the request of Attorney General Janet Reno. When she read about the use of DNA to exonerate someone wrongfully convicted of rape and homicide, she became concerned that others might also have been wrongly convicted. The Attorney General then directed the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to identify how often DNA had exonerated wrongfully convicted defendants. After extensive study, NIJ published the report Convicted by Juries, Exonerated by Science: Case Studies in the Use of DNA Evidence to Establish Innocence After Trial, which presents case studies of 28 inmates for whom DNA analysis was exculpatory. On learning of the breadth and scope of the issues related to forensic DNA, the Attorney General asked NIJ to establish the Commission as a means to examine the future of DNA evidence and how the Justice Department could encourage its most effective use. The Commission was appointed by the former Director of the National Institute of Justice, Jeremy Travis, and represents the broad spectrum of the criminal justice system. Chaired by the Honorable Shirley S. Abrahamson, Chief Justice of the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, the Commission consists of representatives from the prosecution, the defense bar, law enforcement, the scientific community, the medical examiner community, academia, and victims' rights organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you accused of a crime? Are you incarcerated? Are you close to someone who is? Are you a law student? (You won't find this information in law school!) Are you a practicing attorney who wants to be certain to excel in the arena of criminal defense? The secrets in this book serve as a guiding light to achieving Total Victory in the courtroom. An excellent criminal defense attorney's goal is Total Victory which means dismissal of all charges prior to trial, acquittal at trial, or reversal on appeal with directions to dismiss. A plea bargain is not Total Victory, nor can any form of win-win negotiating be Total Victory. Why should the prosecutor get anything? Every criminal case presents potential opportunities for Total Victory. An excellent criminal defense attorney knows how to transform these opportunities into actual dismissal or acquittal. When a lawyer is 100% for the client and stands up for the client to the nth degree, each secret of criminal defense is crucial. Just as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, an excellent criminal defense attorney knows how to maximize representation in every case, never allowing a weak link. Those criminal defense attorneys who deserve the word excellent work to Win! They do everything they can think of within the law and the rules to win, and they win because they are knowledgeable and experienced with the tools and techniques and state of mind set forth in this book. Written in a clean, clear style, its also a most enjoyable read!

Book Synopsis Using DNA to Solve Cold Cases by : U.s. Department of Justice
Download or read book Using DNA to Solve Cold Cases written by U.s. Department of Justice and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DNA has proven to be a powerful tool in the fight against crime. DNA evidence can identify suspects, convict the guilty, and exonerate the innocent. Throughout the Nation, criminal justice professionals are discovering that advancements in DNA technology are breathing new life into old, cold, or unsolved criminal cases. Evidence that was previously unsuitable for DNA testing because a biological sample was too small or degraded may now yield a DNA profile. Development of the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) at the State and national levels enables law enforcement to aid investigations by effectively and efficiently identifying suspects and linking serial crimes to each other. The National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence made clear, however, that we must dedicate more resources to empower law enforcement to use this technology quickly and effectively. Using DNA to Solve Cold Cases is intended for use by law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals who have the responsibility for reviewing and investigating unsolved cases. This report will provide basic information to assist agencies in the complex process of case review with a specific emphasis on using DNA evidence to solve previously unsolvable crimes. Although DNA is not the only forensic tool that can be valuable to unsolved case investigations, advancements in DNA technology and the success of DNA database systems have inspired law enforcement agencies throughout the country to reevaluate cold cases for DNA evidence. As law enforcement professionals progress through investigations, however, they should keep in mind the array of other technology advancements, such as improved ballistics and fingerprint databases, which may substantially advance a case beyond its original level.
