Fiction vs Fact on the Shawna Forde case/trial #3

 Fiction The wedding ring, which Gina Gonzales (surviving victim) identified as her wedding ring, and which was found in Shawna Forde's property had Shawna's Forde's DNA on it.  To which the prosecution asserted proved Shawna Forde was on scene as the crime took place and was in fact the female that entered the home & stole Ms. Gonzales's jewelry.   


FACT: No DNA matching Shawna Forde's DNA was recovered at the crime scene, or on any weapons believed to be used during the crime, or on any of the stolen property found from the home of the victims.  Gina Gonzales did not say any of the perps were wearing gloves.  She did state "they", including the female were going through the house, opening drawers & cabinets, going through them looking for something.  That "something" she believed was drugs. To which she denied any drugs were in the home.  See below excerpt of ring/dna as introduced to the jury during trial.


See additional information obtained by PI and introduced at appeal, December 16, 2016 page 3 (can be viewed in it's entirety on the Shawna Forde blog, under pages, marked appeal). 



The odds of 3 markers out of 8 matching Shawna Forde are 1 in 2000 peoples.  1/2 the state of AZ would likely match.  Perhaps even more.  This was not explained to the jury.  Had it been, the jury may have not convicted Ms. Forde.
