"According to a review of the lab’s records by McGuffin’s legal team, Krings found unidentified male DNA on both shoes. The DNA didn’t match McGuffin, Deputy Oswald or anyone else interviewed during the course of the investigation. The unexplained DNA never made its way into any report and was never shared with McGuffin’s defense team.  After this information came out as part of the post-conviction case, Frasier took the unusual step of having an outside expert review the lab’s data. In his report, California-based DNA consultant Thomas Fedor excoriated the Oregon lab’s actions and called its analysis of the right shoe “scandalously incomplete.” Fedor found that the omission of the male DNA from the report was in conflict with the lab’s own casework protocols."  The passage above comes from an article about Nicholas McGuffin, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his girlfriend.  The Oregon crime lab had previously claimed that the non-self DNA on the victim's shoes came from a police officer, an assertion that is simply untrue.  To the best of my recollection, no independent review of the DNA evidence in this case has taken place.  One wonders what would be found.

Wow, certainly echoes of the Luke Mitchell case there Chris.
No doubt you will know that the LM team are fundraising at the moment to progress his case.
I think the unknown DNA in the LM case was found on Jodi's trousers wasn't it?
What does unknown DNA mean anyway, does that mean it came from a total stranger or what?

Yes, just a reminder to anyone who has doubt of Luke Mitchells guilt that his current team are fundraising at the moment to pay for a new legal team to advance his case.
This may include requesting the unknown DNA from Jodi's trousers for further analysis and such.
The team are hoping to raise £20,000 to start things rolling.
So far they have raised over £12,000 with ten days left to reach their goal.
If you are interested, you can donate on the 'Crowd Justice' web site.
Even a few pounds would help, just whatever you can spare.
Lets try and solve the LM case for once and for all, leaving no stones unturned as it were.
It may just take a small DNA sample similar to the Malkinson case, who knows!
Lets give the boy every chance possible, surely he deserves that at least?
Thankyou.
