I don't know, Mark and John, if you guys have ever seen them do this, I've never seen them put a percentage on major and minor contributors before like that.
I've done triple DNA mixtures and I had an old lab, one of our lab supervisors, her name was Mary Hong.
She used to say, Megan, it's a dirty world.
And in the modern era, everything is so sensitive, the equipment they use, that you get a DNA mixture on just about every swab.
It's almost becoming rare that you'll have a single source DNA unless they get it isolated from a sperm fraction or something really like one source of blood.
But other than that, it's very common to see this.
And you're exactly right.
He's using the parlance like they can't exclude a person.
That's what the FBI protocols allow them to say.
And crime labs will allow them to say this person can't be excluded even if it's one in 17 quadrillion people.
you know, population frequency, which for our purposes means he did it.
And the prosecutor can say it's a match.
The forensic scientists won't.
So this is performative.
I don't know who this guy's talking to, really, because this is just a prelim.
The judge knows all this already.
That's what they're trying to say, yeah.
You stated, I believe, that the minor sample, the minor contributor was less than 20% and that it was actually 5%.
The ratio was 5% to 95%.
For one of the samples, yes.
