Witness: Dr. Bruce Weir
Examiner: George Clarke
Called by: Prosecution • Date: Thursday, June 22, 1995 • Utterances: 19
A brief redirect examination in which prosecutor George Clarke moved to admit a DNA research article (People's 411) into evidence. Dr. Weir identified the article as the Evett paper on interpreting single locus DNA mixture profiles, which he had referenced earlier in his testimony. The exhibit was admitted without objection.
1 MR. CLARKE:

I just would like to mark an article is all.

2 THE COURT:

All right.

3 MR. CLARKE:

The one that the witness referred to.

4 THE COURT:

All right.

Which article is this, Mr. Clarke?

Dr. Weir, showing you what appears to be a publication entitled "A guide to interpreting single locus profiles of DNA mixtures in forensic cases"--

Shall I read it?

10 MR. CLARKE:

Would you.

11 DR. WEIR:

Is a paper entitled, "A guide to interpreting single locus profiles of DNA mixtures in forensic cases." The first author's name is Evett, E-V-E-T-T.

12 MR. CLARKE:

Is that the article that you referred to earlier in your testimony as part of the published literature describing the calculation of frequencies for mixed stains?

13 DR. WEIR:

Yes, it is.

14 MR. CLARKE:

Your Honor, I would like to move that exhibit into evidence at this point for this hearing.

15 THE COURT:

Mr. Thompson.

16 MR. THOMPSON:

No objection.
