نویسنده
چکیده
CASE SYNOPSIS In September 1996, a new evidence tool was used for the first time in a United States courtroom. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evidence was introduced in a Tennessee murder prosecution against twenty-seven-year-old Paul Ware. Without the mtDNA results there was only circumstantial evidence pointing to Ware as the suspect in the rape and murder of a fouryear-old girl. The defense claimed that another man in the home, the babysitter, had framed Ware, who was found drunk and asleep next to the body of the child.
