The absolute difference of 1-in-three sextillion doesn't have any real importance. It is the percentage difference that has meaning. 2) There isn't a racial frame here. DNA statistics are generally reported in Texas for the three principle Texas population groups: caucasians, african-americans, and southwest hispanics. Because gene flow is more limited between those population groups than within the groups, the statistics will differ between the groups. 3) There will be routine and regular rehearings on this issue for death penalty cases, either as part of the normal appellate process, or as in this case as a special circumstance hearing when other appeals have been exhausted.
