The problem with DNA evidence is that prosecutors like to jump to the end, the idea that a DNA match means that someone with DNA identical to that found at a crime scene has been found. In reality there is a long string of assumptions that must hold true in order for that supposition to also be true. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
