Doesn’t DNA testing take weeks?

No. Once you have the two samples of the DNA, you'd PCR up more (a couple of hours) of each and then label the loci of interest in both samples with fluorescently-tagged primers (a couple of hours with 10 minute prepping time) and then do the genotyping (about hour plus another 15 minute prepping time) on the sequencer, and then compare the results (a few minutes using GeneMapper). I know because this is my job.

Thanks for that info. Interestingly the "expert" (testified in the OJ trial) in the news video says 12-24 hours.

There was some confusion that the testing was done stateside which makes for an improbable timeline.
