Baltimore - The case of an alleged cop killer revealed that DNA evidence of suspected murder weapon has been contaminated. Technicians in the crime lab discovered the DNA from two people on the gun that police believe was used to kill a local detective outside his home last year in an attempted robbery.
A partial DNA sample had matched that of the defendant. The DNA technical leader from the lab told jurors that the second sample that was found turned out to be that of another crime lab technician who had dusted for prints at the crime scene.
The defense claims that this disturbance of the evidence raises more questions in a trial that has been lacking in physical proof.
If you have been convicted of murder or another criminal offense, contact Rhode Island criminal defense attorney James P. Powderly at 401.662.9006 to discuss your case and further legal options.
