Lucas was very lucky that he was only in jail for five months - and very unlucky that his DNA was transferred to the crime scene.
Sue - DNA is not perfect AND fingerprints are not perfect.
I can't think of anything that IS perfect.
Sue - A perfectionist looks for perfection all their lives never to find it. It's a good reason never to start any big projects. :)
Sue, Mike, you couldn`t get any more perfect than the quite astonishing 17 year-old Pauline Hickey from 1985, that bird was, quite simply, "TOTALLY UNIMPROVABLE PERFECTION" unlike anything that has ever existed before or will ever exist again at any time in the future ! ! !.
Mike, i dont want to diminish the importance of the subject matter of this video, but its just that the bird presenting it was actually quite tasty, not an incredible exquisite Pauline Hickey type bird obviously, but rather 'a middling/not bad/OK bird'. Actually Mike, if you watch the video again you might notice the birds slight resemblance to a young Louise Fletcher (long before she starred as nurse Ratchet in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest" of course), a 'CHUBBY' young version of Louise admittedly, but the resemblance is there, i just wondered if you spotted the similarity ?.
No form of evidence is 100% conclusive. That's why the criminal standard of proof for conviction is "beyond a reasonable doubt" not "absolute 100% certainty." Errors can happen, even with DNA evidence. That's the best argument why there should be no death penalty.
LJ - I looked. Didn't see it. But that's just me.
Deb - Exactly
