Almost exact parallel with this rape case study
http://www.cmj.hr/2003/44/3/12808732.pdf
No suspect DNA on the victim, victim trace on the suspect - convicted

If anyone ever gets prosecuted via DNA "evidence"
they should demand , in disclosure, the full electophoreograms
with ladders and RFU scales, not the nice tidy edited tables .
For anyone studying the plots in that CMJ pdf you
can easily find 4 or so peaks just ignored (exculpatory ?) ,
let alone the major systemic failing (bleed through)
not mentioned in the text of that piece at all.
They had to use 50 RFU cut off , well below normal
levels to get a prosecution, ie getting on towards
LCN levels. That image not printed of course as
the 150 RFU plots were bad enough

I suspect only the nice looking clear cut tables
, prepared by the "expert" analyst, would have been presented at court.
The Devil is in the detail.

If I was in control of this DNA nonsense I
would have one lab processing victims' DNA and another
lab processing suspects' and output data passing
to a third independent entity for assessment. It is too easy
to get cross-contamination at these sorts of quasi-touch DNA
levels, ie the Kercher fisasco restarted in Italy


ps
What they aren't telling you about DNA profiles
and what Special Branch don't want you to know.
