Patterico has recently had an intriguing set of posts regarding the debate over the use of DNA statistics in criminal cases.

In an unusual coincidence, the 9th Circuit has just come down with an opinion [PDF file] today that touches on the subject.

Interesting reading, and more fodder for debate I’m sure (including O’Scannlain’s dissenting opinion in the case, which seems pretty convincing in my humble opinion).
