With the aid of DNA evidence, a North Side man has been charged in a string of brutal sexual assaults across Chicago that stretched back to 2003 and included two he allegedly committed with his brother, authorities said Tuesday. Leondo Joseph, 38, and his brother LB Joseph, 29, appeared in bond court over the weekend, where they were ordered held without bail for their alleged roles in the case which experts said illustrates the potential and the shortcomings of the state's DNA evidence collection and testing. Women were terrorized and sexually assaulted in their apartments or forced into vehicles by threat of violence in the six attacks, which occurred in the city's Lakeview and Brighton Park neighborhoods and the community areas of North Lawndale and Belmont Cragin, court documents reveal. Leondo Joseph, arrested Saturday night at his home in the 2500 block of North Halsted Street, is charged in all six attacks, according to records. LB Joseph is charged in the two most recent attacks in 2011 and 2012. Both brothers also face aggravated kidnapping charges. Chicago detectives linked the brothers to the assaults through Illinois State Police crime lab examinations of all six assaults, prosecutors said in court at … Continue reading →

LEIPZIG, Germany, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Throughout human history monogamy has been a sexual philosophy largely eschewed by men, yet demanded of women. This was especially so for men of early human societies, who preferred the company of numerous wives. We know this much thanks to the research skills of several generations of anthropologists. And now, this understanding has been confirmed by DNA analysis and the work of researchers in the field of human evolution. As a recent study of human DNA revealed, humanity has absorbed the genetics of many more mothers than fathers -- further proof the men of early societies fathered children with multiple women. "[Historically] more of the women were reproducing than the men," Mark Stoneking, a biological anthropologist at Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, told Live Science. "This often happens in human societies, because not all men are able to afford wives, or sometimes a few men will have many wives." Stoneking and his colleagues used a new technique for observing the variances within the paternally inherited Y chromosome, passed down from father to son, and the mitochondrial DNA, the genes inherited from mothers. After collecting DNA samples of 623 males sourced from 51 … Continue reading →

By Mariano Castillo and Eliott C. McLaughlin, CNN updated 9:22 PM EDT, Wed October 1, 2014 STORY HIGHLIGHTS (CNN) -- DNA evidence links Jesse Matthew, a suspect in this month's disappearance of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, to the death of Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington, who disappeared in 2009, a law enforcement source told CNN Monday. And state authorities are checking other unsolved homicide and missing person cases for possible connections. Virginia State Police had said earlier that the two cases were connected by a "forensic link" but did not elaborate. Almost from the start, speculation was raised about the possibility of a connection between Graham's disappearance and Harrington's death. "Certainly the question has arisen. It's certainly a legitimate question," Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters last week. In a statement, James L. Camblos III, Matthew's lawyer, said he met with his client for 2 hours Monday but declined further comment. "Because everything is under seal, I have not been provided with any evidence that links him to either of these cases," he said, referring to Graham and Harrington. Matthew will have a bond hearing on Thursday. In addition, authorities said they are studying other unsolved homicide … Continue reading →

Arguing that the states highest criminal court watered down a law designed to free innocent people from prison, a state senator vowed Wednesday to introduce, and pass, legislation allowing for expanded DNA testing of crime-scene evidence. Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, said a February ruling by the Court of Criminal Appeals interpreted the 2011 law too narrowly, making it difficult for folks to secure DNA testing that can prove their innocence and identify actual perpetrators. This decision, respectfully, is out of touch with tremendous advances in science that weve made in regard to DNA testing, he said. In its February ruling, the appeals court unanimously denied DNA testing for death row inmate Larry Swearingen, ruling that his lawyers had not established that there was biological material on several items Swearingen wanted to test, including pantyhose used to strangle the victim, Conroe college student Melissa Trotter. The ruling leaves inmates in a catch-22 unable to get DNA testing unless they can prove the existence of biological material that cannot be revealed without testing, said Michael Morton, who was exonerated by DNA evidence in 2011 after 25 years in prison. It is an impossible bar to meet, said Morton, who joined Ellis at … Continue reading →
