Product Description
Product Description
It’s not just blood and body fluids—but sometimes it is. Join MCLE and an expert faculty to discuss what is new in forensics. Learn about the post-conviction testing of evidence collected long ago: what does it take to get testing ordered and how does storage impact the quality of evidence? Can YSTR evidence move beyond “cannot exclude” opinions and be used to more definitively prove identity in criminal cases?
Knowing the science behind DNA is no longer enough. With the increased use of probabilistic genotyping, algorithms, models, and statistics all play a role as well. This program dives in and lays out what you need to know. Learn what is new at the Massachusetts State Police Laboratory and how it impacts cases with “mixed” samples.
Have your questions ready—the panel wants to hear from you!
