I'm happy that this guy was exonerated by DNA evidence. This new scientific advance has made a very good criminal justice system far,far better.It greatly lessens the chances of guilty people getting away with crimes and it also greatly lessens the chances of the innocent being unjustly convicted.

That's just gotta fry your cookies,doesn't it Dr Hurly?

I think that's the thing a lot of myopic types don't want to cope with. That is, if they accept DNA evidence as valid enough to exonerate someone (and I agree it is), they have to accept that DNA evidence is valid to incriminate someone.

As one factor (but not the only factor) in the administration of justice, if its good enough to help prove someone's innocence, then there are cases where it's good enough to help prove someone's guilt.
