Rape DNA "not adequate" 12 Years, 9 Months ago

Forensic procedures carried out by a private firm which wrongly linked the DNA of a man to a rape were "not adequate", a report says.

Adam Scott, from Devon, was held for a couple of months after being accused of raping a woman in Manchester.

The charges were dropped when it emerged a DNA sample had been contaminated at LGC Forensics.

How many people STILL believe that DNA is infallible?

I've always thought DNA was a two-edged sword. fingerprints aren't reliable either but everyone believes all those cop shows like CSI etc. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
