DNA off an elbow strike convicts man

FYI Tim

Candice Moncayo was running on the trail when she "was tackled and thrown to the side of the running trail, caught off guard and without warning," her sister wrote. "I thought he was going to rape me," Moncayo said of the overweight man who tackled her. "So I told him he would have to kill me first." "He picked her up by the shoulders and began shaking her relentlessly," she wrote. Moncayo fought her attacker, elbowing hard him in the nose. The shot made her assailant pause, allowing her to get out of his grasp and run away.
"All that was left of the ... attacker were the bruises he left on her and the DNA the police were able to swab from her elbow," according to the article.
