I agree. I think one of the changes the system would have to make is to allow DNA evidence every time. The way it is now sometimes that evidence is not allowed into the case. If they allow it every time I think you are correct the number of wrongful convictions will drop dramatically. Most of the people they are finding innocent now through DNA have been in jail for a long and were convicted long before DNA was something regularly used.
