I’m delighted DNA science has progressed to where it can be used to clear innocent people—and it should be. However, keep in mind it is not a perfect science. Some of the guilty will go free based on DNA evidence.
I’m also suspicious of the alledged 20% of those convicted of rape actually being innocent. I would like to know precisely how that 20% number was produced.
That said, I wonder what % of the convicted felon population is represented by rapists. I suspect it’s a relatively small percent. So we get back to the very real issue of priortizing what we expend our emotions and money on.
It should also be pointed out that there are private entities already championing the wrongly convicted cause. It should be pointed out, too, that the government has not eased or eliminated even one societal failing. It has exacerbated every problem it has tried to address.
it only states that the dna on/in the woman (or victim) was not that of the convicted person. That is enough to kick out the conviction.
