The forensic laboratory, law enforcement, prosecutor, defendant, and defendant's legal representative will all have access to results of DNA analysis. A victim's access to test results may be obtained through the prosecutor's office; however, this may vary by jurisdiction.
Once evidence is introduced in court, it becomes part of the public record, unless otherwise ordered by a judge. Public records laws vary. In some jurisdictions, laboratory reports may be publicly accessible.
