Patel didn't mince words: "I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody."
The probability that the DNA belongs to someone else rather than Robinson, is practically zero. Profiling, which compares genetic markers, is very precise. The probability of two unrelated people sharing the same DNA profile using the standard 13 to 20 markers used in forensic analysis, is less than 1 in a billion! So in addition to visual evidence, the shooter's father's statement, and his LGBTQ partner's statement, the chances that Robinson is not the shooter is slim to none.
Cops say Robinson pulled a stuntman move, leaping off a roof at Utah Valley University right after the shooting, then hightailed it through some woods into a nearby neighborhood leaving behind a DNA-drenched towel and a screwdriver. The only thing missing was an inscription with his name on these items.
Right now, Robinson is cooling his heels under "special watch" in Utah, giving cops the silent treatment. He might not be talking, but that DNA's got plenty to say.
