DNA evidence is increasingly be used to free innocent people from prison, often men wrongly convicted of rape. (Bizarrely, anti-feminists claim this is evidence that women lie about rape.) Less high-profile are cases where criminals are being caught thanks to DNA evidence, as in the conviction of the rapist and murderer of Johanne Hatty, after twenty years.

In the US, the big cognition which people seem to be really understanding is how poor eyewitness identifications are, even in cases where (one might think) that the victim could have gotten a good look at her attacker.

I'm thrilled that DNA evidence is freeing the unjustly jailed, and capturing those who have until now escaped punishment.
