DNA Analysis

Described areas of opinion evidence has included:

  • "identification of bodily fluids and the forensic aspects of DNA typing."[1]
  • DNA experts will not be able to testify as to the likelihood of accidental transfer of DNA.[2]

Problems in DNA evidence can include the possibility of DNA transfer between people as well as confirmation bias where the testers know the identity of the suspect.[3]

There are several types of DNA sample analysis:[4]

  • autosomal DNA analysis (atDNA)
  • mitochondrial DNA analysis (mtDNA); and
  • y-Chromosome DNA analysis (y-DNA)

There are generally two methods of DNA sampling:

  • Short Tandem Repeats (STR) [2]
  • single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) [3]
Y-STR DNA

Y-STR profile is a patrilineal-inherited profile that is only found on male DNA. It will show the odds that a randomly selected male individual unrelated to the targeted person (usually the accused) would match the sample DNA.[5]

Police in Ontario have been using it as early as 2005.[6]

Psychology and Psychiatry

Dog Tracking

Before a judge should consider expert evidence of a specific tracking by a particular dog, the court there must be enough evidence establishing:[1]

  • the reliability of the dog breed; and
  • the reliability of the specific dog.

The court should be satisfied with the evidence of the following regarding the dog:[2]

  • dog's training
  • success rates
  • susceptibility to distractions, such as irrelevant scents, cats or other dogs.

The handler is expected to give sufficient detail on "the process, sequence and outcome of the tracking, preferably supported by contemporaneously or near contemporaneously compiled notes." [3]

The trial judge should always give a warning to a jury that "such evidence should be evaluated in terms of the facts of the particular case, and that it falls into the category of evidence in respect of which special care needs to be exercised because the source of the evidence, the dog, is not able to be made subject to the usual check and balance of the court system - cross-examination."[4]

When Qualification is Not Needed

Using Techonology From User's Perspective

It should not be necessary to have the expert testify as to the "basic functions" of computer storage devices. The suggestion seems to be that basic functionality of any appliance is not in need of proof.[1] Similarly, it should not be necessary to qualify an expert to speak to the use of electronic devices, social media website, and other internet applications.[2]

This has been extended to allow that the operation of "everyday technologies" such as social media is not something that an expert needs to explain.[3]

Contents of Devices

When any machine operates in a "predictable, reliable, and notoriously well-known manner", it is not necessary that an expert explain "how the machine or device accomplishes whatever it does."[4] This rule would apply equally for a phone or a GPS device.[5]

Text Messaging

Text messages can be authenticated even if there is no expert evidence or testimony from the sender.[6]

It should not be necessary to have someone testify as to the "sequence and lapsed timing of messages" in a messaging application.[7]

Cell Towers

There may be no need to for expert qualification for the interpretation of cellphone records or description on how cell phones transmit data to towers.[8]

Child Exploitation

It was also found to be valid for a layperson to describe child pornography websites and the search terms and file named associated with them.[9] There is some suggestion that even the workings of file-sharing programs do not require expert qualification.[10]
