Monozygotic twins can be co-identified by genotyping of short tandem repeats (STRs); however, for distinguishing them, STR genotyping is ineffective, especially in the case of murder. Here, a rarely occurring tri-allelic pattern in the vWA locus (16, 18, 19) was identified only in the DNA of one identical twin, which could help to exonerate the innocent twin in a murder charge. This mutation wa...

We establish the means by which Mr. Boddy came to transition from a stable trajectory within the global phase space of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a stable point on the cement floor of an aviary near the west bank of the Schuylkill River. There exist no documented murder motives, and so the dynamical interaction leading to the crime must be reconstructed from circumstantial data. Our investig...

However, because only limited data exist regarding the impact of such evidence on decision makers and the public at large, we recruited a representative sample of the U.S. ...

The most important requirement for the data matrix is that the rows of the matrix should be statistically independent. That is, if we pick any single row of the data matrix, then we should not be able to predict any oth...

A retrospective record review of these 54 pretrial detainees in South Carolina who underwent court-ordered competency and criminal re...
