If your DNA is found on a weapon or at a crime scene, does that make you guilty? A judge or jury might think so, but a new study from the University of Indianapolis shows that secondary transfer of human DNA through intermediary contact is far more common than previously thought, a finding that could have serious repercussions for medical science and the criminal justice system.

If your DNA is on the weapon, you made a phone call from near the crime site at the time of the crime, you are on a video near by the site and you have a good motive.....
