In this day and age if there is DNA the person is guilty no matter what. (Even though it is very easy for a cop to plant DNA.) So my thinking is if there is no DNA and nothing other direct evidence, innocent is the only correct verdict.
I would rather 10 guilty people go free than one innocent person be convicted.
Good for you. That seems to be about the actual proportion of guilty people who walk free, so it's all good. It's working wonders for our society, too. I really like all the exercise and discipline I get from locking everything up and carrying this pistol. Back when I used to leave the doors unlocked at night I was so flabby and unfocused.
In this case (rape and murder) the DNA is likely to be haploid DNA from sperm cells.
Did the cop give a hand job to the person they wanted to frame for the crime prior to planting the evidence?
How does a cop go about collecting patsy DNA and planting said DNA at a crime scene?
Did he also get a skin scraping to plant under a woman murder victims fingernails?
How does this planting of DNA go down? I really want to know.
Thank you for that post. We have some posting here that seem no better than an old west lynch mob.
