David in TN: Usually in cases like the Wendy Jerome murder, after the suspect is arrested a news blackout falls until the trial a year or three later. Atypically, the Rochester NBC affiliate has continued coverage.
Wendy Jerome would be 50 today. The suspect, Timothy Williams, was 20 in 1984, 56 now. This is the first case in New York solved by familial DNA.
“Investigators had been trying to get the New York State Police Crime Lab to do the search since 2017.” As we previously noted, they weren’t in a very big hurry.
This Rochester TV station had pushed for a familial DNA search. A few months later, Williams was ID’d.
N.S.: NBC News national news reader Lester Holt would not be happy to know that an NBC affiliate has had a hand in a possible racist, black cut-throat getting arrested. I’ll bet Holt is opposed to using familiar DNA.

Blackout on black crime. They'll get an e-mail from Holt and Brian Roberts.

When familial DNA was first used around 10 years ago, the left was predictably upset. And they whined about "disparate impact on nonwhites," also "privacy." You've told how disingenuous arguments are used to excuse black crime. An innocent person won't be caught by a DNA hit, only the guilty.
If a black felon is not in a DNA database, a relative often is. This causes the "disparate impact."
