Injustice

Forensic science is a topic that i am very interested in persuing. I watch "Forensic Files", "Law and Order", "48 hours Hard Evidence", and "Dateline" all the time. I believe that a person should be convicted based on forensic evidence. By forensic or any other evedence, i mean physical and trace evidence. It will be absurd for a jury to justifies someone's life with testimonial evidence, because people memory isn't always accurate and others just don't tell the truth. For example, the Troy Davis case. The only evidence the jury had was testimonial. There was no dna or any trace evidence that presented Mr. Davis as the person who committed the crime. Even if he was the person who committed the crime, there was not enough forensic evidence to take a man's life.
