Using Forensic DNA Evidence at Trial: A Case Study Approach covers
the most common DNA analysis methods used in criminal trials today,
including STR techniques, mitochondrial DNA, and Y-STRs. It
presents some novel techniques including familial testing and
analyzing domestic animal hair that have been recently introduced
in unique cases, each of which is outlined in detail. It also
illustrates special issues related to forensic DNA evidence by
using court proceedings such as trials and appeals, commissions of
inquiry, and government and laboratory reviews. With forensic DNA
analysis becoming increasingly important at trial, the lively and
sometimes bizarre cases presented in this book have been carefully
chosen to highlight specific concepts, methods, and interpretations
used in DNA analysis. Sections throughout examine the nature of
expertise with a special focus on the role of subjectivity in the
interpretation of forensic DNA evidence, emphasizing cognitive bias
and extraneous context. Using both convictions and exonerations as
examples, the book also discusses the strengths and limitations of
DNA evidence and testing. The book is written in an accessible
manner for the non-scientific reader, such that criminal lawyers,
judges, and forensic experts will all understand the nature of
analysis and application of DNA evidence in a variety of court
cases. Extensive references including notable trial proceedings,
cross references of cases, and specific forensic statistics round
out the book and help to provide a complete understanding of
forensic DNA analysis and its current usage in the courtroom.
