Abstract

All paternity suits commenced in the Court of Special Sessions of New York City in which the City of New York acted as Prosecutor were analyzed for the years 1952 to 1957, inclusive. The number that admitted paternity, the number that came to trial, the number requesting blood tests, and the number excluded by blood tests in both disputed and non-disputed cases were studied. In the tested cases (approximately 700) also analysis of the percentage of exclusions as well as the statistical value of each blood group in providing a basis for exclusion will be presented. The value of comprehensive testing, using as many systems as available, will be shown. Illustrative cases, possibility of exclusion as well as the possibility of positive evidence of paternity will be demonstrated. The report will be divided into a medico-legal and immunohematological study.
