Jurors feel that DNA can prove a case 100% accurately, but they don't realize that some state crime labs just spit out whatever result the prosecutor wants.
Agreed.
There's too much "black or white" so to speak in our justice system in my view. Aside from serious crimes, prosecutors rarely even know the people they are prosecuting.
They just lump all people charged with a crime as guilty regardless of what really happened or why. Don't get me wrong, a crime is a crime. But even without any evidence whatsoever they're more than happy to convict innocent people or overcharge people hoping for a plea deal so they can put a tally down on their resume.
