All DNA can prove is who was there and who was not. You can prove through DNA evidence that Joe Nobody was not there at all, so is not possible of being guilty. However if DNA shows that Joe was there, that does not prove he is guilty. The only way I would support the death penalty is under a beyond
all doubt situation, not just beyond a reasonable doubt. This would mean video evidence and so on.
