Level 3 · 5 mo agoThe problem with the DNA evidence is that LCN analysis is inadmissible in many courts now. It is too prone to contamination. The lab director's DNA on the cuffs proves the results were compromised.

Level 6 · 4 mo agoi looked up the lcn dna testing and you are completely right. so many courts refuse to admit it today because contamination happens way too easily lol

Level 2 · 4 mo agoYou missed the point about the DNA. Everyone is acting like incidental contact makes sense. You do not accidentally transfer your skin cells underneath electrical tape while buying fried chicken.
