I recall a juror saying "alot of people have the same blood" or something similar without realizing DNA is very unique.
If tried today he would definately be convicted but in perspective it was relatively new at the time and it wasn't until years later that cold cases were solved. The best example is the Green River killer from the Sea-Tac area when DNA linked him to murders that were 15 years old.
