Justice cuts both ways, and I don't think it is simple at all to figure out how new DNA technology could be fairly incorporated into old cases to determine truth.

One of the problems in the justice system is that most convicts continue to claim that they are innocent. The retroactive availability of DNA verification of their guilt would be helpful in reducing the number of claimants. You're not going to press for DNA testing unless you're sure that the result will favor you. That may get the number of requests for DNA analysis and for appeals down to a reasonable number, for which some (admittedly difficult) approach to achieve justice would be needed.
