Deer DNA Downs Murdering Hunter

Here’s a story of a hunter in PA being convicted of taking the life of another hunter in part because of the DNA of a deer he also shot in the same field. The killing took place back in ’97 and the conviction took place earlier this month. Seems they had to establish that the deer’s DNA could have only come from the deer killed in the field so a genetic bank of sorts had be constructed. You might say the deer got some kind of revenge.

Anyway, it’s a very CSI kind of story—without the bugs Grissom seems to like so much.
