NOTE: the original submission of this was the fusion.net story. The mods changed it to a wired.com story, then later changed it back to the fusion.net story. It was the wired.com story when ksenzee read it. Only the wired.com story quotes the Denver DA.

Since the discussion of ksenzee's comment is the most popular branch of the discussion, I think there should be a link somewhere to the story ksenzee read, so here it is: http://www.wired.com/2015/10/familial-dna-evidence-turns-inn...
