Re: DNA Yea or Nay?
Fortunately in a court of law a person’s guilt has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt before the accused can be convicted of an offence and a sentence passed.
But I can see the day when that is turned around. Indeed it is already happening today with calls for extending the time that the police can hold a suspect without charging them. But that’s OK. It’s only for terrorist suspects. Pardon me but suspect means guilt not established nor innocence.
Today you can be suspected of a crime, taken into custody and have your home rifled whilst the police look for evidence. All on a suspicion. The police don’t even have to specify what that suspicion is. If you have a suspicion about something you have to have something to base your suspicion on.
