Minnesota Forensic DNA Defense Attorney

DNA evidence can appear conclusive, yet it is vulnerable to contamination, interpretive errors, subjective analysis, and misleading statistics. Jurors often assume a DNA “match” proves guilt, even though it does not indicate when or how DNA was deposited. These weaknesses can unfairly influence the outcome of a case.

Thorough, Expert Forensic Analysis Matters

As a defense attorney with forensic expertise, Virginia “Ginny” Barron can identify testing flaws, challenge overstated conclusions, cross-examine lab analysts effectively, and explain the limits of DNA science in a way jurors understand. This specialized knowledge is essential to uncover reasonable doubt and to ensure unreliable or misunderstood DNA evidence does not determine someone’s future.

Ginnybrings over a decade of experience in forensic DNA litigation, including independent case review, STRmix training, admissibility challenges, and leadership roles in the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. She has trained other attorneys, exposed lab errors in court, and knows how to use DNA evidence strategically for the defense.
