Posted by Christie Casciano - We've all seen crime shows and we've seen how DNA has become an important part in solving crimes.
When found at a crime scene, DNA is run through a database looking for a perfect match. Sometimes the search yields a partial match. The DNA is so similar that it could be a brother, sister, mother or father.
Technology exists to yield those near matches, but Onondaga County District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick says the law won't allow it to be used as an investigative tool.
Fitzpatrick would like the law changed. What do you think?
