Murder charge first for DNA data bank link, but not the same as solving the murder

Mass DNA testing of prisoners has [allegedly] led to the first NSW case of a person being charged with a previously unsolved murder as a result of a controversial gene-matching data bank.

[As long as the the prisoners DNA wasn't planted at the crime scene. It is one thing to force prisoners to hand over their DNA and another thing to exploit it.]

The Herald reported 25 Nov 02 "a DNA saliva swab led to the charging of a former prisoner with the bashing murder of a woman. Police had been unable to find any witnesses or suspects following the murder in Sydney's inner city two years ago. Detectives had admitted they faced a tough job finding the killer."

[But that doesn't mean anyone who has been forced to give a DNA swab should be framed.]

Herald: "But now the man has made criminal history in NSW by becoming the first person to be linked to an unsolved homicide through the prison DNA data bank.

During a brief court appearance last week, police did not release any details as to what type of DNA was recovered at the murder scene [allegedly] linking the man to the homicide. Nor were there any details about the unrelated crime for which he had been in prison at the time he provided his DNA sample. His DNA is among almost 13,000 such samples taken from inmates [prisoners] in NSW's 28 jails since January 2000, when the collection scheme was introduced."

[So now police and the ruling class have 13, thousand people that can have their DNA planted at any crime scene and made to look guilty of the crime if they had the finger pointed in their direction i.e. alleged circumstantial evidence to go along with it.]

"Inmates,' [prisoners], DNA is being compared with more than 20,000 samples from unsolved crimes dating back to the 1960s. The "cold storage" DNA ranges from blood, dandruff, hair, sweat, saliva and even skin tissue scrapings found at crime scenes."

Police confirmed yesterday that since the scheme was introduced, inmates' [prisoners], samples had been linked to DNA found at 1254 so-called "cold hit" cases - crimes where police had no clue as to the perpetrator. [Rubbish!]

Michael Strutt a Justice Action consultant on DNA reported "The linking of a former prisoner to an unsolved murder via the NSW DNA database is not the same as solving the murder."

"There are now about 12,000 prisoner DNA samples on the NSW database and about the same number of crime scene samples. Attempting to link them all to each other will result in a massive 144 million attempted matches."

"Although forensic scientists routinely claim accuracy of better than one billion to one in DNA testing the fact is that they mess up the tests more than once in every 100 attempts - so the actual reliability of such testing is nowhere near sufficient for the uses it is being put to by police.

[Regardless, that still doesn't mean that Noble Cause Corruption won't be an element because DNA can be planted at any crime scene. Of course it will be a match if it was taken from the database and matched with live samples 'off' prisoners held in custody' and planted at the scene of any crime.]

Although UK police were then claiming 37 million to one accuracy for their DNA database system it still resulted in the false arrest of Parkinsons sufferer Raymond Easton for a crime he could not possibly have committed. Even if the match in the case is not an error it does not mean that the ex-prisoner is guilty of murder.

There are many reasons that someone's DNA might be found at a crime scene. For example they may have visited the location before the offence took place or their DNA may have been planted in order to incriminate them - something Nick Lisoff has experienced.

Although teenaged sex worker Rebecca Bernauer had been about to give evidence against Kings Cross police in a heroin dealing case, when she turned up murdered police said that to solve the crime they needed to be able to DNA test all men living nearby.

Sure enough, they soon claimed to have found a DNA match to Uraguayan immigrant Louis Pintos-Chaves.

[One such case where luckily his DNA wasn't planted at the crime scene. Or otherwise what chance would he have had? But corrupt NSW police are not stupid either because they would learn from their mistake here and other guilty verdicts, based on DNA could be subsequently planted at the scene of the crime. Then there would be no escape!]

After 18 months in prison, Mr Pintos-Chaves was cleared of the murder, only to be arrested by immigration officials and immediately deported before he could speak to the media.

His visa had expired while he was in prison awaiting trial.

Responsible forensic scientists insist that people should never be convicted on DNA evidence alone, but responsible forensic scientists very rarely get jobs in government labs such as the Division of Analytical Laboratories - which carry out DNA testing for NSW police.

[And people have been convicted based, not only on 'circumstantial' evidence but 'flawed' circumstantial evidence and that means along side 'planted DNA' evidence taken from the database and off the prisoner and 'trial by corporate media' (now with no double jeopardy laws, because the 800 year old law was repealed, (and that was a crime), which means people can be tried over and over and over, not just by the courts but by the MEDIA, who have been linked to the ruling classes 'Noble Cause Corruption' in the interests of say, the TOURIST DOLLAR.

In other words, if say a backpacker was killed that would scare off the tourists and the billions of dollars for the economy. But if the murder was solved those potential tourists would not be so afraid to visit Australia.]

Last year, former Police Minister Paul Whelan told UTS students that they would be 'shocked' if they knew how many innocent people had been convicted with evidence fabricated by corrupt police.

This arrest on a DNA database match does not show that the ex-prisoner committed the unsolved murder or that the NSW police DNA database is solving serious crimes. What these charges show is that the Carr government is pouring resources into DNA testing of cold cases and having people arrested on insufficient evidence while not a single wrongfully convicted prisoner has yet been able to have his case heard by the Innocence Panel.

In some cases, DNA from a prisoner has been linked to more than one cold hit crime scene; for example, a home burglary and an unrelated vehicle theft some months later.

The police DNA data bank has also had 650 matches to "warm hit" crime scenes, where police had suspicions of a person's involvement [or a noble cause?] but had insufficient evidence at the time to convict or compel them to give DNA.

Police would not say how many inmates [prisoners] whose DNA had been matched to crimes had since been charged, but most DNA matches so far related to property crime. The swabbing program has led to charges being laid against a number of inmates [prisoners] - including some released on parole after giving their saliva - for burglary and a burglary-arson in the western suburbs.

The same data bank has cleared about 300 inmates, [prisoners], of suspected involvement in crimes.Three weeks ago, the Government's long-awaited Innocence Panel, chaired by Judge John Nader, began taking applications from serving and former inmates, [prisoners], who believe they were wrongly convicted of serious crimes, such as rape and murder, and that DNA may exist to prove someone else was the perpetrator.

In November, the then police minister, Paul Whelan, revealed the 1999 rape of a 15-year-old girl was among 300 crimes police had drawn links to in the early stages of the DNA testing of prisoners.

[Because the rape of any child compels more people to believe corrupt politicians and police. If it were the rape of a prisoner people would not pay any attention to that rubbish line from Paul Whelan or the Herald Scum who both have an interest in NOBLE CAUSE CORRUPTION.

Lets say police wanted to commit crime? So they now have a tool to blame innocent exploited prisoners. So the wrong person is found guilty and the cop that could have been raping and murdering people gets off scot-free, to rape and kill again! So is there any evidence of police corruption?

Gang-rape, police, disparity and the law..

The New South Wales northern region commander of police defended the handling of an investigation into a lower Hunter police officer, who is facing 38 charges of kidnapping and sexual assault.


So is there any reason the 'general public' don't want the 'real perpetrators' found guilty of their crimes? Then they better be sure that the tools that police use to solve crime are not fabricated or it is you that could be the next victim of a perpetrator that never gets caught and keeps on committing crime in our community.]

Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service. The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.

Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.

Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep. Another word for it is sleaze, yeah. Another word for it is workplace harassment. Another word for it is bribing a Police Officer. Another word for it is misleading Parliament.

Tele Tales
Most people I know don't buy the Daily Telegraph. Why? Because of the lies and propaganda purported by them.

Lord Denning
Interesting how a member of the Police Board Mr. Tim Priest would hold grave fears for his safety from dangerous senior police but fails to name them or have them sacked. Rather Priest resigns as if he had no powers. Could that mean what he was saying is that the Governments are also corrupt?

Corrosive
Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House. Small who suffers from the little person syndrome is the ideal bend over boy who gets shuffled through his corrupt actions. Rolling the legal system for him after the fact, just like his predecessor Roger the dodger Rogerson.

Black Nexus
