6. DNA and/or video evidence is almost never indisputable.

The only crimes eligible for DP are those in which someone was killed. Rarely are killings captured on video where the identity ad the circumstance are perfectly captured. DNA rarely comes into play if there is no rape or struggle. Even then, DNA evidence does little more than prove a person was at the scene or with the victim. It is never as open and shut as you hypothesize. You are making case against the DP.
