Thomas testified that touch DNA is sometimes referred to as handler DNA.Ĥ:38 p.m. Wilder’s sample was taken during his autopsy, and Amber and Staley’s samples were taken from the inside of their cheek, also called buckle samples. Angela Thomas testified that the known samples of DNA she worked with were samples from Jason Wilder McDaniel, Amber Odom McDaniel, and James Irven Staley, III. The higher the statistic, the more certain they are that the DNA is essentially a match.Ĥ:40 p.m. She testified that a statistic is generated that determines the strength of that DNA match. Angela Thomas testified as to how DNA evidence is determined to be a match. Angela Thomas testified that the DNA found on the sample of the sheet was compared to Wilder McDaniel’s DNA sample, and the probability that anyone else would have that same DNA profile was one in 12 trillion, essentially confirming the blood on the sheet found in the crib was in fact Wilder McDaniel’s blood.Ĥ:43 p.m.
