PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A New York court admitted Cybergenetics TrueAllele® Casework into evidence in the murder trial of People v. John Wakefield. Schenectady Supreme Court Justice Michael Coccoma found that the DNA interpretation software “is not novel but instead is ‘generally accepted’ under the Frye standard.” New York is the sixth state to admit TrueAllele after an admissibility challenge.
DNA evidence is often low-level, or a mixture of two or more people. While crime laboratories can generate informative data from such DNA, older mixture interpretation methods (CPI, CLR) often fail to produce a match statistic. So tens of thousands of DNA items have been processed, but never used as criminal evidence.
