TrueAllele Casework in Action
TrueAllele DNA Analysis Prevails in Louisiana Daubert Challenge
A Louisiana judge admitted Cybergenetics TrueAllele Casework into evidence on November 6th, following a Daubert hearing held that same day.  The Honorable Richard D. Anderson ruled that TrueAllele's match statistics met the Daubert admissibility standard for reliable evidence in a homicide case involving a DNA mixture from a handgun.
"We are grateful that the Judge recognized the reliability of TrueAllele technology," said East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar C. Moore, III. "We look forward to the continued use of this probabilistic genotyping to aid the prosecution of cases involving complex and low level DNA mixtures."
