Overview

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Kevin Foley was a DNA landmark case where, for the first time, advanced statistical computing was used to interpret DNA mixture evidence. Dr. Perlin, two prosecutors and the author spoke at Andrea Niapas' book launch event. Dr. John Yelenic was brutally and tragically murdered, but the trial that convicted his killer bequeathed to society a powerful truth-seeking technology for bringing criminals to justice.
