No matter what blood type a suspect is, there are other people with the same blood type. So blood type does not positively identify any single person.

By contrast, other than identical twins, no two people have the same DNA.

No. Blood-typing is an older technology and far from conclusive since many people share the same blood types.

Blood typing is more exclusionary in that if you have a different blood type, that proves innocence, but having the same does not prove guilt.


Is blood typing reliable and accurate in forensic science?

Yes, blood type is reliable and accurate.

Simulated blood typing activities mimic the process of determining blood type by testing for specific antigens and antibodies present in the blood, much like in actual human blood typing.
