Answer:
Inclusion: When the DNA profile of a suspect or a victim
consists with the DNA profile from the crime scene
evidence, the individual is “included” as the possible
source of that evidence.
Exclusion: When the DNA profile from a victim or
suspect is not consistent with the DNA profile created
from the crime scene evidence, the individual is “excluded” as the donor of the evidence but exclusion does not imply innocence.
Inconclusive. Inconclusive results imply that DNA
testing could neither include nor exclude an individual
as the source of biological evidence.
