Questions For Reporters
• What’s a Match?• How Was Probability Computed?• For Defense: Discovery? And what it shows-
unreported contributors, allelic dropout, poor mixture separation.
• On Appeal: What’s law on post-conviction testing? What was theory of crime? And theory of defense? How would post-conviction testing fit it?
