DNA Tests
DNA test results will not play a part in the preliminary hearing of O. J. Simpson. Some preliminary results have been returned, but the final results are not expected for weeks. Sources have said the preliminary results point to Simpson. DNA--the genetic information unique to each individual--is found in blood, hair and skin.
