Program Summary: From complex scientific concepts to practical courtroom tips, this unique compilation of NACDL’s highest-rated presentations addresses a broad range of issues in criminal cases involving DNA. It was specially designed to help defense practitioners understand all aspects of DNA evidence presented during trial. You will learn how crime labs collect DNA evidence, how to read lab reports, common errors that are made, biases and external influences that can affect forensic examiners, and how you can argue these issues persuasively in court. You will also be presented with a case example that will walk you through the trial of a case in which DNA was the primary evidence, and how it was discredited before the jury. Presentations on DNA statistics are also included, as well as mitochondrial DNA, low-level DNA mixtures and complex DNA mixture interpretations. This DVD package includes written materials to supplement the lectures.
