A murder has been committed and you are a juror at the trial. The prosecuting attorney has presented evidence that the victim put up a struggle and injured her assailant, drawing blood, prior to her demise. Blood typing was completed and the blood type matches the defendant's blood type. The prosecuting attorney states that this evidence is proof that the defendant is guilty of murder. As a juror, do you think the defendant is guilty of murder based on this evidence? Why or why not? If not, what other evidence do you think is needed?

Respuesta :

The fact that the blood type matches that of the defendant is no proof that the defendant is guilty as charged.

There are about four blood types that people can have, these blood types are; A, B, AB and O. Everybody must posses one of these blood types. A person's blood type is determined through laboratory tests.

The  prosecuting attorney was wrong in concluding that the defendant is guilty as charged only based on the blood type evidence. different people could have the same blood type. Only DNA analysis can conclusively prove that the defendant is actually guilty as charged.
