November 24, 201510 yr I have a question: How can they know the DNA they found is definitely this guys? Not saying he's not guilty. But I was under the impression it took a while to get DNA results. Have lab times decreased? They can do a basic DNA match in a matter of days at this point. Without getting into detail (I've had it explained to me and I don't know that I could do justice at a decent explanation myself), a basic DNA match will identify the sample within, say, 99% of the shadow of a doubt...or in other words, enough to get a warrant. Then the remaining 1% is evaluated with additional testing to verify that they definitely have the correct suspect. That takes up to another 2 weeks to get all of the complete fine-detail-type, 100% conclusive results back.

Have lab times decreased? It depends on the lab, and the priority. It's possible to get them back within a few days now. I hit on it before he was arrested about evidence. That it seemed like it was a quick thing and that the murderer wouldn't have time to attempt to clean up, ad when he was done he most likely got out of there quickly.

Have lab times decreased? I think the process was sped up a little in this case. It takes weeks because there's a long waiting list I believe.
November 24, 201510 yr Thanks, guys! I had no idea that the forensics had improved so drastically! Now, lets get that backlog of rape kits processed!
November 24, 201510 yr I hope they speed up the death sentence too. 1) good luck with that thought. 2) death would be too easy for him, they HATE people like him in prison. He will wish he was dead.
November 24, 201510 yr Thanks, guys! I had no idea that the forensics had improved so drastically! Now, lets get that backlog of rape kits processed! I think this was sped up because a 7 year old was killed and the killer was unknown. My guess is the list is still long and processing other cases will still take a lot of time due to money and man power.
November 24, 201510 yr 1) good luck with that thought. 2) death would be too easy for him, they HATE people like him in prison. He will wish he was dead. He will be segregated with the other sex offenders. They don't mix with the general population. So, he's not in as much danger as we might hope in prison.
November 24, 201510 yr If I were ever to have a change of heart and find myself supporting the death penalty, it would be for scumbags like this guy....
