The ends do not justify the means in court
There is too much hocus-pocus whenever “expert witnesses” and/or “psychiatrists” such as Pharaoh's magicians appear in court
[2 Timothy 3:8–11] Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

The DNA profile was uploaded into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, a national database to compare DNA profiles in criminal investigations, but there was no match. ¶In November 2024, the Arlington police homicide unit met with the FBI Dallas field office about using investigative genetic genealogy to crack the case. ¶In April, the FBI’s investigative genetic genealogy team identified a potential suspect — Velasquez. ¶“Ms. Velasquez was at one time a close friend of Ms. Chavez and lived just a few miles away from the crime scene,” police said in a news release.
Unfortunately FBI has no jurisdiction in a stateside murder case and the state lacks probable cause. The suspect was a “close friend” and no motive for the murder is cited.
Joe Rothrock, the special agent in charge of the FBI Dallas field office, praised investigative genetic genealogy as “one of the most valuable tools law enforcement has today.” Since 2018, the FBI has used it to solve more than 250 cases across 30 states, he said.
Cops cannot have such “valuable tools” at their disposal without violating the bar. That's an arbitrary tool to frame anyone for murder on any cold case.
“DNA matches” and “investigative genetic genealogy” fail the 12-average-citizen test and lack the proper standing in court of actual evidence supported by the testimony of impartial witnesses.
Professional or paid “expert” witnesses appear in court with highly technical claimed laboratory results, and the court is supposed to take them at their word with their “professional opinions” interpreted as “absolute fact” in court without a proper cross-examination. Not only that, but these so-called “expert witnesses” are being paid by police or prosecutors, and as paid professionals, their testimony cannot even possibly be impartial in court.
Claimed microscopic or technical or chemical laboratory results can easily be fabricated or falsified to a jury of average citizens who are not experts in a supposed field such as the so-called “investigative genetic genealogy.” (We're not seeing much if any actual chemical analysis in cases of murder by poison either; only for alleged possession of controlled substances.)
Something more than say 23andMe and a couple of prostitutes, something actually admissible in court, is needed for proof beyond a reasonable in a capital murder case, which is a very high standard of proof that does not admit arbitrary or easily faked claimed laboratory results.
The “Sherlock Holmes” assumption that there's a crime and everyone in court just wants to “crack the case” or “solve the crime” is false. Cheating is rampant in high school and college science courses, and it's even worse in court than it is throughout America's horribly corrupt educational system.
