Description

We granted certiorari in Lindsey v. People, 868 P.2d 1085 (Colo. App. 1993), to consider whether, in view of this court's decision in Fishback v. People, 851 P.2d 884 (Colo. 1993), the court of appeals erred in holding that the techniques employed to calculate the statistical frequency of a declared match in a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) typing case related to the weight of the evidence and not to its admissibility. Petitioner advances three reasons for reversal: (1) that at the time the DNA evidence was offered there was significant scientific disagreement concerning the validity of the statistical techniques employed; (2) that the district court heard expert testimony regarding the disagreement; and finally (3) that the disagreement has not been resolved but has become more pronounced. We hold that the evidence was properly admitted and affirm the court of appeals.
