Cybergenetics and crime labs overcome challenges to TrueAllele

Pittsburgh, PA

TrueAllele® science continues to withstand admissibility challenges. Defendant Harold Houston lost his Daubert challenge in Jefferson Parish, LA. Defendant Shannon Oehlstrom pleaded guilty and dropped her Daubert challenge in Cleveland, OH. A U.S. Marine Corps defendant made a pretrial agreement and did not proceed with his Daubert challenge in military court.

The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office crime laboratory independently conducted a successful Daubert hearing in South Carolina on their reported TrueAllele results.
