In the CODIS database of Maryland, of fewer than 30,000 profiles, 32 pairs matched at nine or more

loci. Three of those pairs were “perfect” matches, identical at 13 out of 13 loci. Experts say they most

likely are duplicates or belong to identical twins or brothers, but they did not establish that.

A study of the Arizona CODIS database carried out in 2005 showed that approximately 1 in every 228

profiles in the database matched another profile in the database at nine or more loci, that approximately

1 in every 1,489 profiles matched at 10 loci, 1 in 16,374 profiles matched at 11 loci, and 1 in 32,747

matched at 12 loci.

In a recent case against a Murillo-Sosa, a jury was told the match was 5 of 13. They had to say he was not

guilty. SO, what kind of match are they going to make?

How about doing it right the first time and take the time to get a FULL DNA testing of Y chromosome

DNA and mitochondrial DNA, as well as autosomal (CODIS) DNA?

Is it a mitochondrial DNA test which matches everyone who descended from the same maternal

ancestor in the last 20 generations as THE DEFENDENT(S)? Is it just a “high resolution test” which the

FBI performs or a real full genome sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA?

Is it a Y Chromosome test which matches everyone who has the same paternal lineage for the past 400

years? If so, is it 12 markers, which could be one to fifty percent of the population, or is it a 67 marker

test that can pin it down to a surname?

There may be a way to combine all of these that will resolve the identity to one person, but is what they

have beyond a reasonable doubt unless they do FULL testing?

DNA match claims are being used to extract confessions. I am sure these jailhouse informants felt no problem giving false testimony in these cases.

John Trainum, a 25 year detective, is now recommending that interrogations be videotaped because of how they are extracting confessions.

On 1/24/08, in the LA TIMES, he wrote, “I’ve been a police officer for 25 years, and I never understood why someone would admit to a crime he or she didn’t commit. Until I secured a false confession in a murder case.”

If it can extract a confession, why not abit of false testimony?

So, a if a confession in a case is NOT a sign that it is a done dea why would it be such from a jailhouse informant?

It goes back to the DNA testing. DNA testing is not magic, but it is being treated as such. The only power of DNA testing that is absolute is in EXCLUDING suspects
