<<The use of DNA evidence can go a long way to making sure that the innocent are not held for crimes they didn't commit. I have also see some articles where rapists in jail were convicted of other crimes they had committed when their DNA was matched up to a different crime. >> Had a rape case in Illinois where the DNA proved the guy didn't do it 10 years later. He was let out on parole waiting his pardon and got into a bar fight. Back in for 10 for violating parole. Now A, he was innocent and should be turned loose or B, He was dumb ass and should be locked up. I have no opinion on this.
