Physical Evidence in Kraft Trial
Every article pertaining to the Randy Kraft case states that it will be the most expensive case in California history.
The British have established DNA “genetic fingerprinting” as a workable and expedient means of establishing the facts in at least one case where the same type of evidence--that is, a direct physical connection to the victims in question--was needed. Using this method of detection, it was conclusively proved who the rapist--murderer was in two cases in England.
Can someone tell me why we have not yet accepted this method in our forensic science? And why we are not now using it in this case that will be so costly to the California taxpayers?
