I wish that were true about DNA evidence. Unfortunately it's not the
science that's at fault, but the human system of collecting and analyzing
the evidence. There have been documented cases of police labs tampering
with DNA evidence to increase conviction rates, etc. As long as human
processes are error-prone (i.e. forever), the death penalty will kill the
innocent.
