What an intriguing find, so far away from the scene of the crime. Let's hope it leads to the murderer.

A friend has just returned from a 7 day sea canoeing course in Spain. He was chatting to another participant who's a genetisist. This guy was telling him that enough DNA is transferred when shaking hands with someone that you could then pick up a glass (for instance) and transfer the DNA once again ........ seems to me an ideal way of stitching someone up!! Now, who would be our first target? Think I'll start with the Cabinet ...... yes, ALL of them. Who else?

Interesting thread, how is some DNA on clothing in her wardrobe, match that on a cup in a Sunderland church 300 miles away. Only discovered after a burglary, but I understand the burglar hasn't the same DNA.
I know there has been a spate of church burglaries across the country, maybe it's been burgled twice.
Must admit I don't understand this DNA stuff, by what the original thread says it can be transferred hand to hand like dirty engine oil.
Can anyone out there enlighten us?

Come on mate.


Take the chips off your shoulders.

OK I'm a lawyer, I love cars, and everything to do with the internal combustion engine.

I also worked hard for the chance to drive nice motors.

I hate the ambulance chasing cvnt element as much as you do, but come off it. I do abot £50k worth of pro-bono work a year so don't tar us all with the same brush.

We're not all bad, dude.

I object to this post, if next door's cat is bothering you then you should squirt it with a water pistol, not stitch it up with faked DNA

Aha, zoomer. I heard there was one good lawyer.

You're it, eh? Good man. Clearly not having a bop at you.

It's the system that winds me up.

Starts with lawyers in government who create complex laws that need their buddies to interpret.

Then there's the closed shop that keeps fees so high they can only be afforded by the rich or poor. No justice for the unfortunates in between.

Then lawyers who contrive with opponents to spin cases out for the fee opportunity.

Then lawyers who don't know what the hell they're doing.

Then lawyers who exploit technicalities to defeat justice.

Then the ambulance-chasing no-win-no-fee brigade who win damages that disappear into their fee pot, thus jacking up all our insurance premiums.

And how the hell do they justify fees of £millions for criminal trials lasting a few weeks? Thus jacking up our taxes.

If I go on, the cat'll get a kicking. So I'll stop now.

Mmmmmmmmmmm..........I needed that.

I'm curious about this, how do you value this pro bono work, is £50K what you would charge if the people receiving the benefit could afford to pay?
