[2009] EWCA Crim 2698

The court expressed its opinion as to the reliability, admissibility and evidential value of low template DNA, primarily that obtained using the low copy number (LCN) process. It concluded that such DNA could be used to obtain profiles capable of reliable interpretation if the quantity of DNA that could be analysed was above the stochastic threshold.
