Why did the FSS in the UK botch the DNA tests?

Care to explain?

I was replying to Eleanor about the objections to certain aspects of the files being made public:

A. Material relating to condemned and suspected sex offenders
B. Intelligence Reports
C. Crimestoppers (Crime Combating Unit)
D. Communication between Police Forces

At last. Like pulling teeth!

So no evidence that any specific ordinary evidence was withheld.

An incomplete DNA result was obtained from cellular material on the swab 3a. The swab contained very little information and showed low level indications of DNA from more than one person. However, all of the confirmed DNA components within this result match the corresponding components in the DNA profile of Madeline McCann. LCN DNA profiling is highly sensitive it is not possible to attribute this DNA profile to a particular body fluid.

According to Amaral, in one of his interviews, "all" meant 5 alleles. Even the unrelated baby's saliva had that many in common.

From John's OP

It is clear that the Forensic Science Service in the UK  (now disbanded)  made a complete mess of the DNA analyses in this case.  Furthermore, their leaking of the initial report was so unprofessional and a complete shambles.

Do you still hold that view, John? If so, what's the basis for that assertion?

Just another myth that the deluded believe
