We do have the ability to do this in many cases where DNA evidence exists. And yet many states still resist performing these tests as a routine part of the appeals process. Yeah whats up with that? And you know whats even wierder, when somebody on death row or some long sentence without parole somehow manages a DNA test, and it comes out negative (thereby proving innocence) some judges and prosecutors refuse to commute the sentence even then. I think there are plenty of cases where innocent people have at least been charged... remember that Cary Stayner case in Modesto where the police originally went after a heroin addict- the guy was screaming for a DNA test as they were dragging him in for questioning... as it turns out while he was in jail another even more heinous crime was committed obviously by the same criminal... oops police have the wrong guy
