Analysis

For the D20S88 Locus, we can make the following conclusions:
- Blood Spot 1 excludes all but Suspect 1. Suspect 1 matches the
bands exactly.
- Blood Spot 2 excludes only Suspect 2. The victim and Suspects 1 & 3
are consistent with this mixture of blood.
- The Vaginal Swab excludes Suspect 2. The victim and Suspects 1 & 3
are consistent with this sample. Notice that there are two "unaccounted"
bands. These bands may come from another individual -- either another
rapist or someone else who has recently has sex with the victim (a
consensual partner).
