TrueAllele helps deliver justice in Pittsburgh cop killing

Off-duty Pittsburgh police officer Calvin Hall was shot and killed at a street party in Homewood four years ago. Hall was shot in the back three times and died three weeks later. A Cybergenetics expert witness testified about TrueAllele results connecting defendant Christian Bey to the murder weapon firearm. The nonillion-sized match statistic had thirty zeros after the one.

Allegheny County Deputy District Attorney Stephie-Anna Ramaley said physical evidence doesn't lie, citing the TrueAllele DNA connection and video footage. After a three-week trial last month, the jury found Bey guilty of first-degree criminal homicide. "Justice has prevailed and we're thankful that the evidence showed the truth in this matter, so we all miss Calvin dearly and this is justice for him," his father Curtis Hall said.
