## Resource

A New Jersey lawyer, Matthew Nilo, faces eight sexual assault charges from 2007-2008 in Boston, with investigators using groundbreaking genetic genealogy to link him to the crimes. The case hinges on DNA evidence collected from items he allegedly discarded at a Manhattan bar — the prosecution says it’s abandoned property, but his lawyers call it theft, demanding the evidence be thrown out. As a lawyer himself and currently on bail, Nilo pleads not guilty, and this pivotal motion could reshape the entire case — a high-stakes clash over privacy, procedure, and justice in a cold case.
