State v. Toomes

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the State had sufficiently proven defendant’s identity as the rapist from only DNA evidence where the victim was unable to identify her attacker, but defendant’s identical twin was incarcerated at the time of the rape
• upholding conviction when DNA evidence was the only evidence linking the defendant to the rape
• defendant's DNA alone sufficient in the absence of any conceivable \innocent reason\ for its presence
• “[T]he accessibility of a defendant to the examined object is highly relevant because it could suggest an innocent reason for a defendant’s fingerprints to be on an object.”
