You're changing the subject.

The question was about whether you know of any trial in which the absence of DNA was used as the basis for conviction?

That's not to say it couldn't happen, but one would have to be able to prove that DNA should have been present in usable quantities, which is going to pretty difficult to do. DNA analysis has gotten very inexpensive and as a result it is routinely performed.

The idea that the prosecution may try to use the absence of evidence as evidence suggests that this trial is totally off the rails. It looks more like it was designed to keep angry blacks from going into riot mode than it was to find justice. Which is stupid, since blacks will be that much more angry when the acquittal comes.
