DENVER -- A forensic scientist who has claimed to be a DNA expert in trials in Colorado and across the United States was discredited this week in a Denver trial, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office.
However, Richard Eikelenboom disputes that claim.
"A Denver prosecutor got Eikelenboom to admit that he had no direct DNA extraction or analysis experience, that he operates a lab that has not been accredited, that he personally failed his basic proficiency texts in 2011 and 2012, and admitted that he was a 'self-trained' in running DNA profiles," the DA's office said.
"They're lying when they say I don’t do my own DNA work," Eikelenboom told Denver7.
Eikelenboom said he's been accredited by the Dutch National Accreditation Council for years and Monday, he received accreditation by the American Society of Crime Lab Directors (ASCLD).
"I would not get that if I was not a solid scientist," Eikelenboom told Denver7.

Testimony this week in a 2013 sex assault case in Denver District Court found that Eikelenboom committed "fundamental DNA analysis errors by not following scientific standards in the DNA field," prosecutors said.
"[That's] completely unfounded," Eikelenboom said. "What I think also went wrong, the lawyers we were working for were not well prepared. The District Attorney never let me finish my answer."
"I appreciate Judge Whitney recognizing that Mr. Eikelenboom’s opinions about DNA have no basis in science and that he was not qualified to testify as an expert," said Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey in a statement sent to Denver7.
"[This is a] weird system. As District Attorney, you can say all kinds of things about the expert," Eikelenboom told Denver7. "I don’t think the judge completely understood what happened."

I disabled JavaScript months ago (for this site only) because of intrusive ads & videos. It works perfectly! The only downside is not being able to directly watch YouTube links that are often linked in the threads. Which is not really a big deal-- I click on the video here, and it takes me off-site to it's original placement on YouTube.
I disabled javascript for websleuths and closed/reopened Chrome but the pop up ad/video is still here.
Same here????
So what exactly is the theory here on the banana sticker? That cows were partying, eating bananas, drinking beer and...what? Waiting for their friends the moneys to show up and share the bananas and beer?
Defense is most the way through their case and I still can't figure out what significance they are trying to tie to the dang banana sticker?

D: so you made a report for the public defenders, using infrared, to see areas needing further testing for DNA or blood, correct?
yes
[he is talking about blood/saliva mixtures, and semen?--but I have no idea what he is saying]
---asked about a banana peel sticker on a shirt?
now we are hearing about dismemberment and blood flow?
questions from jury---what made you want to take this case?
judge said not to answer it
