AMIDST THE CONTROVERSIES AND HYPE SURROUNDING DNA, ONE JUDGE'S DETERMINED SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH . . . Judge Gerald Sheindlin presided over the first trial to involve the admissibility of DNA: the murder of a Bronx mother and her infant. His ruling, admitting DNA evidence, changed the American criminal justice system forever, and Judge Sheindlin's guidelines, prepared for that case, have become the model used in many courtrooms. Now, beginning with that precedent-setting trial, Sheindlin reveals the true nature of forensic DNA: the revolutionary crime-solving tool that can find deadly clues in a drop of blood, the root of a hair, or a smear of saliva. With wit and clarity, the author explains the dynamics of DNA and shows how the genetic code, once deciphered, can break open a case. Because of its devastating implications for killers, rapists, stalkers, and terrorists, defense lawyers everywhere are fighting to diminish DNAs credibility. Sheindlin examines their arguments *particularly addressing the claims and counterclaims that raged during O.J. Simpson's trial *and discusses DNAs dramatic impact on the future of police investigations and the process of criminal justice in America. With a Glossary and Q&A section
