Bennett was charged with these two crimes based on a DNA match made through Massachusetts’ Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), an electronic database that allows federal, state, and local crime labs to compare DNA samples. Seminal fluids recovered from rape test kits performed on the two victims were found to match Bennett’s DNA profile. According...

...Marian Koshland Science Museum. The institution, part of the National Academy of Sciences, explains "the science behind the headlines" in layman's terms and focuses on cutting-edge research and how it impacts people's lives, says director Patrice Legro. There are exhibits on global warming, forensics and DNA replication, and even an interactive display called "Lights at Night" that allows visitors to navigate the globe using a joystick, along the way viewing data on energy use and population changes around the planet...
