This month marks 35 years of DNA evidence being used in Australian legal cases.
The 1989 trial in the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court of Desmond Applebee was a messy case, about a nasty crime.
The case graphically illustrates the challenge of interrogating novel scientific evidence.
Forensic DNA testing was very new at the time, but the handling of the DNA evidence in the case was problematic.
Australian criminal law does not have a "reliability test" to assess scientific evidence in court.
Proteomics, DNA phenotyping, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence will keep presenting the courts with new types of very complex, technical evidence.
Prosecution must convince the court that its scientific evidence is sufficiently well developed and validated to be accepted by professionals in the field.
