Counsel in a trial are arguing that a DNA analysis isn't proof that a particular person was at the scene of a crime. As a DNA analyst, you've identified a point that clearly
matches the DNA sample and the suspects DNA. What should your response as an
expert witness be?
Argue that the DNA, combined with other testimony makes the suspect likely to have been
there
Agree with the lawyer that one matching point is likely to be a coincidence
Argue that even one point of similarity in a DNA profile means the chances of a mistake are
one in a billion
Argue that the suspect is clearly guilty, and the DNA analysis is irrelevant
