I know that by themselves, each of the four things I listed are insufficient to confirm guilt. You will need to inform me (or at minimum link me) to the problems you think I have with my understanding of fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence.
Yes, video can be tampered and eyewitnesses can be mistaken; I know this; I'm not a fool.
But to my knowledge, our DNA is unique, just like our fingerprints. So yeah, if there's a rape-murder victim with John Doe's DNA inside her, his fingerprints on the murder weapon, a survellience video of him committing the crime, and a neighbor who saw John Doe fleeing the scene--I think his guilt can be safely concluded.
And this is *theory* not application.
And hey, what's your stance on the trial of KSM? Or Saddam Hussein? Should Hussein *not* have gotten the death penalty? Should KSM get life in prison?
