For MH? All we know for sure is that there is a forensic link between Hannah's case and MH's, and it's likely to be some sort of DNA evidence. Since we don't know if the link came from JM's buccal swab or from something in his car or apartment, it's hard to say how strong that link/evidence is. What else in terms of evidence do we have on JM and the MH case? Yes, a plethora of coincidences (I love the phrase you picked, by the way, you do have a way with words), but that doesn't always lead to even charges. FOr all of the evidence, in Hannah's disappearance, LE could not arrest JM. There is even less in terms of evidence in the MH case right now, and again no charges as of yet, for any number of possibilities, against JM. It's all up in the air.
Most of us here agree with your sentiments, Heroine, but it isn't what drives the charges or the verdict. We aren't even at the stage where DA wants to charge JM. We don't know what the DNA evidence is. I have no idea how reconstituted DNA works and how it is viewed in a court case if that is what has to be used to get the match. Some posters here have given us some really good info that I knew little about, now I know more. But how does that work in terms of acceptable evidence in a court of law, has it been used in the past? Enough for charges? Charges that will hold? It will all play out, Im sure. They have JM in custody. They have the state of the art, primo buccal swab from him. Let's see where it goes in the MH case. Right now most of the focus is on the Hannah Graham case because some charges have been filed, there is a court date and LE and the DA are going to have to present what they have for that. What they have for MH and how and when and if charges will be filed have yet to be disclosed.
