A startling look at how breakthroughs in DNA testing are
having a tumultuous impact on criminal investigations. From
O. J. Simpson's "trial of the century" to the recent
disappearance of Chandra Levy and the reopening of the
Edward De Salvo case, the collection and use of DNA in
criminal investigations has become a controversial and often
confusing burden of proof. Blood Evidence explains the
principles and science behind DNA testing and shows how it
has both helped solve some of the most puzzling criminal
cases in recent history and been used to discredit
eyewitness accounts and physical evidence found at the crime
scene. Written specifically for a lay audience, Blood
Evidence is the first trade book to explore the complexities
of DNA testing and the effect it has had on justice systems
worldwide.
