Introduction
NA evidence is playing a larger
role than ever before in criminal
cases throughout the country, both
to convict the guilty and exonerate the
wrongly accused. Biological samples that
were impossible to test for DNA 10 years
ago may yield critical evidence if tested
today. Because DNA evidence is a powerful
tool in the search for truth, it is important
that victim service providers
understand the potential significance of
DNA evidence in their clients' cases.
