I just hope that--as often the case with scientific theories--twenty years from now, we don't hear that DNA testing was inaccurate and as a result many guilty criminals were mistakenly set free.

It is rarely wrong to err on the side of grace. What we see today is convicted murderers and pedophiles let loose and innocent people falsely accused and jailed. "Justice" is that fine piece of truth that is missing because a government with an agenda can always twist the facts to fit that agenda.

The globalists have among their tactics, the idea to get people to accept and vote in tougher laws and penalties, like "three strikes and you're out" laws. The trouble is, those laws can be used against you in the future.

That scary thought has occurred to me, too.

I think it's far more likely that we'll learn some hard lessons about politically amibitious DAs who push police to get convictions at any cost. It has already been shown that Oklahoma City's police chemist, Joyce Gilchrist, quite literally fabricated evidence when none existed. She testified to substances on clothing that later testing proved were not there, just for instance. No, let's not blame the science in these DNA cases. Lets look at who's doing the testing, who's pushing for convictions, and why. It's not enough to convict "someone." It must be the right someone.
