  1. Role Of Non-DNA Evidence In Sexual Assault Cases

  2. Introduction Studies show that about half a million sexual assault cases are reported every year. The actual number of reported and not reported sexual assault cases are much higher. The type and nature of a sexual assault can greatly vary, due to which different pieces of evidence, such as non-DNA evidence, are important to consider.

  3. Examples Of Non-DNA Evidence Some of the common examples of non-DNA evidence are: • Toxicology reports • Mobile records • Tire marks. • Shoe prints and footprints. • Handwriting.

  4. Foundation Of A Case It is a common misconception that only DNA can be the foundation of a sexual assault case. In fact, non-DNA evidence such as footprints or handwriting can also act as the primary evidence in a case. Being familiar with the significance of non-DNA evidence is important to ensure victims of sexual assault do not hesitate to report the crime.

  5. Prosecution Non-forensic DNA evidence can be sufficient to prosecute the criminal in many situations, especially when weapons are involved. A weapon can be used to identify the suspects and investigate them for a successful prosecution. Victims of sexual assault should trust the system and rely on professional sexual assault defence lawyers to ensure all types of DNA and non-DNA evidence is used carefully.
