IMO, DNA makes a big difference in wrongful convictions, I could see where the were more prevelent back 20 years, even 10 years ago. I'm sure there are still wrongful convictions... but if the DNA is there, go for the execution.

Interesting. DNA evidence is also why I'm opposed to abortion. See the other thread if you are curious.

And I'm all for using the DNA evidence in capital cases to make absolutely certain that no innocent people are executed.
