Now that we have such advanced DNA evidence testing it will be more unlikely that the innocent will be convicted of murder.

That sounds an awful lot like a Titanic mentality to me. Infallable. Unsinkable.

I've always been a pro-death penalty person. But recent disclosure of incompetence and corruption in the Houston crime lab has really got me concerned about our worship of DNA evidence as the "end all" of evidence and proof.

Too many people have been released after appeals have shown incompetence and corruption for me to be comfortable with the death penalty anymore.

Better the victims kill them at the time of the crime, and be done with it.
