On Tuesday, a forensic expert revealed that she couldn’t link brother of rapper Nicki Minaj, Jelani Maraj, to a DNA sample found on the pajamas of the stepdaughter he’s accused of raping.
Erika Ziemak, who worked as a forensic geneticist in the Nassau County medical examiner’s office, stood as a witness in the Nassau County trial of Jelani Maraj, 38.
According to prosecutors Maraj, repeatedly raped his wife’s 11-year-old daughter — attacking her as often as four times a week.
Ziemak, according to NY Daily testified that she found a “mixture” of DNA on the little girl’s purple pajama bottoms back in Dec. 31, 2015. There was male DNA found, she said.
Maraj was tested six months later, but Ziemak testified that she couldn’t be sure he was the donor.
