TrueAllele helps acquit New York man of cold case murder
On June 10, 1995, a New York City gas station attendant was found strangled with a cord around his neck. DNA was recovered from the ends of the cord. The DNA was too complex for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner crime lab to interpret. But TrueAllele computer analysis showed defendant L.M.ʼs DNA wasnʼt on the cord, with an exclusionary statistic of one in 114 billion. On June 22, 2023, a Cybergenetics analyst testified at the trial about the TrueAllele results. The jury acquitted L.M.
