Assuming only three DNA contributors, it is at least 70 time s more likely to observe this DNA mixture if is the minor DNA contributor along with two random unrelated contributors than if the DNA is from three random unrelated contributors. SUMMARY: This is limited support that is the minor contributor to the DNA mixture obtained from the maga zine sample . Mixtures of DNA consistent with a female major contributor and a trace contributor w e re obtained from the grip s and cartridges samples. The major contributor to both of these mixtures is consistent with the female major contributor to the magazine sam ple . The results for the trace contributor portion of the profiles from the grips, magazine, and cartridges are not suitable for compari son due to the low level of DNA and the uncertainty of the number of contributors. The profile of the major contributor to the grips sample has been sea r ched against the OC Crime Lab local datab as e and no matches were obtained. Due to ca se circumstances, this profile will not be forwarded for entry into and comparison against the CODIS database(s) or the Orange County District Attorney's Office local database . Additional reference standards may be submitted for direct compari son. The slid e and trigger samples yielded insufficient DNA for typing. Items Examined OCCL Item 4.1 11 Examinations Item 4.1 Item 11 Description Swab s from Handgun, Magazine, and Cartridge s Deep Muscle: The grip s, magazine, and cartridges swabs were extracted for DNA and typing was performed using the GlobalFiler sy stem.

Defin itions Major contributor: Main contributor: Minor contributor : Trace contributor: FR#: 21-52599 Appendix An individual who contributes more DNA than any other individual to the mixture. One of two or more individual s who contribute a relatively equal amount of DN.l. ~o the mixture. The main contributors may be the sole contributors to the mixture or there may be on e or more minor or trace contrib utor(s) to the mixture. An individual who contributes a small portion of the total D"IJA, but is high enough to be su ita ble for interpretation . An individual who contributes a very small portion of the total DNA in a sample; this contributor is present at such a low contribut ion that there is very little confidence in the true in umber of trace con tributors to the sam ple. A trace co ntributor is not suitable for comparison.
