Golden State Killer allegedly now in custody

@Nrdsb4 -

I am a lawyer but my only exposure to either criminal or con law was in the classes I took in pre-DNA days. I want to make it clear that I personally have no issue with the way DeAngelo was captured, but I do think it will be an issue at the trial. Honestly, if his attorneys don’t challenge the way the evidence was gathered, maintained and whatever, they will not be defending him effectively. I agree that this case may wind up providing future guidelines for the gathering and use of familial DNA.
