DNA analysis / forensic biology testing are scientific and therefore unbiased procedures which provide useful evidence for the prosecution and / or defense in criminal investigations. The science of forensic biology has proven to be indispensable in the investigation of sexual assaults, murders, and other violent crimes in addition to automobile accident reconstruction, and countless other crime scene scenarios.
Genetic Technologies, Inc. offers on-site processing and Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) using the latest tools and procedures then subjected to comprehensive testing and analysis performed by a multi accredited laboratory. Our forensic DNA services have been used to exonerate individuals previously convicted of heinous crimes such as murder and rape at a time before advanced DNA testing was available. Many of these crimes then went on to be resolved with the true perpetrator being ultimately convicted.
Genetic Technologies is well known for assisting State Attorneys, Public Defenders and private investigators from across the country in a variety of felony casework.
The case scenarios in which we assist attorneys range in severity from high profile serial murders and sexual assaults, to those involving sexual harassment, damage to property, accident reconstruction, and home invasion.
DNA analysis is now commonly considered as admissible evidence in court proceedings. Today, juries expect DNA evidence to be presented during trial when a sexual assault or murder is involved. DNA analysis is a scientific and therefore unbiased procedure, providing useful evidence for the prosecution as well as the defense. One-third of the initial suspects are cleared before going to trial as a result of DNA analysis, thereby saving the taxpayers money, the court’s time, and most significantly — the innocent’s freedom.
