here, I found something for you...

a few weeks ago, Stefanoni said:
"I am angry about the false statements in this report and ready to come to court to highlight the past record of these experts," she told the Observer. "I am also looking into taking legal action against them. What international DNA protocols are they talking about? The Italian police is a member of the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI), while they are not."
(from The Conti-Vecchiotti Report, English translation)
during the trial, Stefanoni said:
Judge: So you identify it based on characteristics that you read off a diagram, basically?.
Stefanoni: Yes, exactly, from the height which they shouldnt be above according to the international standards that are actually reported in this work that the Professor was citing, which however are recommendations for correct interpretation, so theyre guidelines, for the height and the percentage that this hieght has with respect to the main peak, this height, this percentage should never be above fifteen percent because otherwise theres a risk of mistakenly attributing a peak of this type to stutter.
We agree with Dr. Stefanoni regarding the definition of stutter and we reiterate that stutter are non-specific [aspecifici] peaks due to the production, during the PCR, of amplification product that is shorter than one repetition with respect to the corresponding allele.
I believe Stefanoni will get more then a slap on the wrist..
