P. v. Boone
In 2001, a masked man broke into a woman’s apartment and sexually assaulted her at gunpoint. The woman reported the sexual assault to the police, and she was taken to the hospital for a sexual assault examination. During that examination, biological evidence was recovered from her body and a DNA profile was obtained. In 2005, a “cold hit report†matched the DNA evidence recovered from the victim, with the DNA of appellant/defendant James Leshawn Boone, through a search of the CAL-DNA database. Defendant’s palm print also matched a latent print which had been found outside the woman’s apartment on the night of the crime.
