Understanding the Implications of Non-Accused DNA at Crime Scenes for Criminal Defence Lawyers

Author(s) Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Country India
Abstract While DNA evidence has revolutionized criminal investigations, its presence in legal cases becomes problematic when the DNA of non-accused individuals is detected at crime scenes. This essay explores the issue of unintentional DNA transfer and its implications for defence attorneys. This study questions the prevailing assumption that DNA presence equates to guilt by analyzing a burglary case study, demonstrating how DNA can be unintentionally deposited by those not involved in the crime. The findings reveal the complexities surrounding forensic evidence, showing that individuals who haven't physically interacted with crime scene objects can still leave their DNA behind. This complexity underscores the need for lawyers to adopt a more nuanced perspective, emphasizing the importance of expert testimony, rigorous investigative methods, and contextual evaluations in accurately assessing the implications of DNA evidence within the judicial system. Understanding these intricacies is vital for police officers and legal professionals including judiciary to navigate carefully and sincerely cases where DNA evidence plays a critical role in proving or disproving the guilt of the accused person.
Keywords DNA evidence, DNA transfer, criminal law, forensic evidence, shedder status, legal strategy, contamination.
