DNA testing can change the whole outcome of a criminal case. An interesting case that occurred in Illinois named “Innocence on death row” is just one example. When Illinois Governor George Ryan asked that DNA testing be applied to death row inmates in 1998 they found that 13 out of 25 inmates could be discharged for some of their crimes by the results that were found in the DNA testing. That is just one example of how DNA testing can change the outcome of a case.
