I read of a case where degraded DNA was found at a crime scene,
analogous to a partial fingerprint. Prosecution told the jury
(accurately) of the long odds against a random match even to this
partial information. What the jury did not hear: the defendant was
fingered by matching the partial DNA to *everyone* in the California DNA
database, and the chance of a hit in that search was one in three.
I do not remember (maybe the article didn't say) what happened on
appeal. But I see an analogous danger here. It's one more way for
police to do what they do best: find someone, anyone, who fits the
limited information they have, and interpret any new information to
serve the frame.
