The DNA Conviction and the Truth Behind It In the world of forensic science, exoneration plays a crucial role. In cases where a person has been convicted of a crime and must be proven innocent, exoneration plays a critical role. It is what helps the court to fairly decide whether the crime was committed by that person or not. The exoneration is based on DNA evidence and therefore is the most authentic. The main purpose of exoneration is to help the legal system by allowing innocent people to be exonerated from guilty verdicts. Most legal systems are built on structures such that people responsible for crimes can be identified and penalized. Exemption removes the burden, burden, or responsibility that is wrongly imposed on someone by law. On the one hand, when he comes to know about the real convict, he also helps the innocent one. The most important evidence is DNA. When DNA testing is performed, samples are collected from the suspect and the crime scene. This evidence includes hair, fingerprints, human secretions, blood, semen and other body fluids, which are collected and sent to the laboratory for further investigation. Despite the importance and success of over sixty innocence projects in the United States, there is no literature that discusses how these organizations operate, what resources or factors contribute to their success, and what challenges they overcome (Krieger, S.A. 2007). The Innocence Project's groundbreaking use of DNA technology to free innocent people has provided irrefutable evidence that wrongful convictions are not isolated or rare events but instead result from systemic flaws (Innocence Project, 2014). The Innocence Project is a non-profit organization run by lawyers who... middle of paper... have been tested. After his continuous plea, the court decided to investigate and submit his DNA profile. After investigation, the court declared him innocent and he was therefore acquitted of the charges he had lived with for years. Implementation of state laws on post-conviction DNA testing has been uneven. Some state laws have statutes of limitations after which petitioners can no longer file claims. Some states appoint an attorney, others do not. They still need to determine whether the evidence to be tested is substantial and reliable (whether there is a documented chain of custody). If the evidence is too small, or degraded, or otherwise does not comply with legal requirements, the signatory has no recourse. These advances are happening because lawyers are fighting for the right to DNA profiling to save the innocent who have been falsely accused.
