Overview
- Forensic scientists testified that 2023 retesting of the victim’s vest top yielded an incomplete DNA profile matching Paul Quinn and the earlier profile labeled “unknown male one.”
- The expert said it is at least one billion times more likely that Quinn contributed DNA alongside the victim than scenarios involving other unknown contributors or the victim’s partner.
- Prosecutors told jurors there is no support for Andrew Malkinson contributing to any DNA results from the clothing, and 2007 testing had already detected a male profile not from him or the partner.
- Quinn’s ex-wife said he came home without a shirt after the night of the alleged attack and recalled joking about not finding it near the scene, while the defense challenged her memory and timing.
- Retired detectives described the 2003 search and media appeals, denied a targeted focus on Malkinson, and one said he had very little memory of who addressed the victim’s identification doubts; Quinn denies the charges as the trial continues.
