TrueAllele Casework In Action
TrueAllele Casework ruled admissible in Ohio Daubert challenge
An Ohio judge ruled that TrueAllele? Casework is reliable under the Daubert admissibility standard. Judge Maureen Clancy also denied discovery of TrueAllele source code. The defendant Maurice Shaw accepted a guilty plea shortly after the Cleveland ruling. 
"DNA evidence is invaluable to the criminal justice system, and so every advancement in analyzing it advances the cause of justice," said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty. "Judge Clancy's ruling to accept Dr. Perlin as an expert witness and to find TrueAllele's DNA mixture analysis admissible is an important step forward that will improve the scientific fact-finding abilities of all parties in the criminal justice system."
