A prosecuting attorney was given the forensic lab results from the blood-typing activity. She found that the crime-scene blood matched the blood type of one of the suspects’ blood. The prosecutor told the jurors that the crime-scene evidence blood matched the defendant’s blood type. She further stated that this evidence proved that the sus- pect was indeed the perpetrator of the crime.
You are the defendant’s attorney. How would you respond to the prosecutor’s argument that because the blood types matched, then the defendant is proven to be guilty of the crime?
