Cat hair convicts man of murder
The case, reported in today's issue of the journal Nature, is one of the few times that nonhuman DNA has been used this way in a murder trial.
By then, a bloodied brown leather jacket had been discovered. Tests showed the bloodstains belonged to
NEW YORK — Here's an odd tale from the annals of DNA evidence in the courtroom: A Canadian man was convicted of murder after hairs in a bloodstained jacket were genetically matched to his parents' cat.
The likelihood that the jacket-hair
The murdered woman was 32 when she disappeared from her home on Prince Edward Island in 1994. Her body was found in a shallow grave a few months later.
The man lived with his parents and Snowball, a white American shorthair.
The Associated Press
To help O'Brien compute the likelihood that such a match would occur by chance, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had a local veterinarian randomly draw blood from 19 cats. O'Brien studied DNA in those samples, plus data from an earlier survey of nine cats from the United States.
the woman.
O'Brien and colleagues report in Nature that Snowball's DNA matched genetic material from a hair root.
The cat hairs were found in the lining. Police recalled seeing Snowball at the man's home during their investigation.
DNA would match Snowball's DNA by chance was computed at about 1 in 45 million.
O'Brien said his team did the analysis during O.J. Simpson's murder trial.
"We were all watching the DNA evidence go down the toilet in the O.J. Simpson case, and we were determined that was not going to happen to us," he said.
The suspect was convicted of second-degree murder in July, and the DNA evidence was a major contributing factor, said Cpl. Phonse MacNeil of the Mounties.
Nonhuman DNA evidence has been used before in murder cases. In Arizona in 1993, a man was convicted after DNA from seed pods in his pickup truck was matched to a palde tree at the site where the victim's body was found.
