Peter Neufeld Dna Quotations

The real issue is not whether one man was in fact guilty or innocent, it's rather that he set the example for what the other 49 governors should do on the hundreds of cases where DNA material still exists from people who have been executed.

He has set an example for governors all over the United States. It's the governors' responsibilities to go out and do DNA testing in these cases. That is the only way you can enhance the integrity of the criminal justice system.

We haven't been able to get (DNA) in most of the capital cases. In 75 percent of the cases we take on, we can't do DNA because the evidence has been lost or destroyed,

DNA evidence has revealed a finite but troubling class of convictions tainted by what is best described as 'false facts': forensic evidence that likely carried great weight with the original jury, but which is now known, to a scientific certainty, to have been erroneous.

The Innocence Project is thrilled to be the beneficiary of the band's generosity. The wave of post conviction DNA exonerations sends a message to all of us that the criminal justice system is broken and desperately needs to be fixed. Thank you Nine Inch Nails for joining us in the quest for meaningful justice.

The truth is if you speak to crime lab directors, they will tell you that in only a relatively small number of cases is there any DNA evidence.
