I was impressed by the comments made in a book by the former mayor of New York, Rudolph Giuliani, in which he wrote that he had once questioned the use of DNA evidence. In a particular case, he discovered that DNA evidence solved a problem to the extent of excusing an alleged culprit. DNA evidence has a benefit, not just in capturing criminals, but in relieving someone of the accusation made against him or her. This was part of what changed former mayor Giuliani's opinion on DNA evidence and caused him to become an enthusiast of records such as we are discussing.
