Evidence in the Courtroom
• Primarily rape cases• Paternity testing• Historical/missing persons investigations• Military “dog tag”• Convicted felon databases
• Blood was previously used for blood typing• Now it is used as a source of DNA
Which cells in the blood contain DNA?

The Crime
In a quiet corner of Wales in the village of Llanfairpwll, 90-year-old Mabel Leyshorn was murdered. Her murder had been not only brutal (her heart had been hacked out), but also creepy. It appeared as if Mabel’s blood had been collected in a small kitchen saucepan and tasted. The murder showed other signs of the occult: a candlestick and a pair of crossed pokers had been arranged near the body.
- from BBC’s Crimewatch December 2001

The Crime SceneFurther investigation indicated that this was no supernatural villain at work: the murderer had worn tennis shoes which had left distinctive footprints under the glass door that had been shattered by a piece of broken garden slate. Moreover, the windowsill had bloodstains on it; with any luck, the evidence recovery unit hoped to use it to help determine who had committed the crime.

Druid Dracula: DNA testing
• With kits, just add DNA sample with primers for amelogenin (XY) & different STR regions.
• Amplify and run on gel (electrophoresis).• An allele ladder shows all varieties in a population.

What are the Odds?• There are only a few different numbers of repeats that
are seen in our population.– Ex: only 5 different TPOX STRS
• After testing thousands of DNA samples, researches know the distribution of these different STRS in the general population.

Hardman’s Arrest• Standard police work identified Matthew Hardman
as a suspect. Preliminary DNA testing provided enough evidence to arrest Hardman on suspicion of murder.
• During the arrest, a knife was found in his coat pocket. Subsequent DNA testing revealed two sources of DNA on the knife, one from Hardman and one matching the victim. The possibility of a random match was one in 73 million.
• A search of Hardman’s dwelling produced magazines and evidence of accessing internet sites featuring how to become a vampire.
• Matthew Hardman was found guilty of murder on August 2, 2002, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
