   DNA within a family is difficult.   
      
   Don't forget that a married couple in the UK nearly spent a long time in   
   prison because the body of a baby found at their house matched the   
   wife's DNA so they were obviously guilty of killing it.   
      
   They were very lucky being able to prove that they were out of the   
   country when it had been born and killed / died.  Further investigation   
   suggested it highly likely that the wife's mother was guilty even though   
   she had died by then.   
      
   There was no doubt that they would have been convicted because DNA   
   cannot be wrong - statistics like one in x billion chance impress juries.
