No, actually just the opposite, to free the good guys. You could prove somebody definitely was not the crook if there was a blood sample and the suspect did not have that type of blood, but law enforcement could not use it to help identify a suspect beyond a reasonable doubt.

And that's far from enough evidence to convict somebody of a crime. But DNA testing has turned that percentage up, like way up, like 99% accurate and higher.

In fact, the first use of DNA evidence in a crime did both. It all started with Alec Jeffries, a professor and geneticist in the UK in the 1980s. In his research, Jeffries' study of the human family revealed that children had a composite of both their mother and father's DNA. And this finding was widely reported in the press.

A lawyer read about it and he was working on an immigration case and saw the story and he thought it would be helpful with a client who was having trouble proving his identity. Professor Jeffries, using the mother's DNA, was able to prove his client was who he said he was. And police took note of this. So that was, at the time, quite a breakthrough, I'm guessing.

Yeah, and it opened the doors for criminal investigations. So in 1986, investigators asked Jeffries to help with a murder case. Two 15-year-old girls had been sexually assaulted and murdered. A teenage boy with learning disabilities had been arrested and had confessed to one of the murders, but not the other. The police wanted help pinning both murders on the boy and went to Jeffries.

And guess what happened?

And now with no suspects, the cops and Jeffries began to collect DNA samples from local men, but they came up with no matches.
