&gt;<i>&quot;[Juries] are even willing to go a step further and say, &#x27;We&#x27;ll convict on the basis of DNA, even in the face of evidence — non-DNA evidence — that this isn&#x27;t the perpetrator,&quot; Murphy says.</i><p>Juries are largely representative of the general population. As such, most have been conditioned by television crime dramas such as <i>Law &amp; Order</i>, <i>CSI</i> and <i>NCIS</i> to view DNA evidence as infallible techno-wizardry that always catches the bad guys.<p>Ever see a mainstream crime drama end with the arrest and conviction of someone totally innocent, the credits roll, and that&#x27;s it? Neither have I.<p>Instead, we have the stereotype of law enforcement being completely incorruptible, with the evidence technicians themselves cast as well-meaning nerds who are equally infallible, because gosh, they&#x27;re just super geeky scientists who are super smart.<p><i>&quot;When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren&#x27;t smart enough to get out of jury duty.&quot; - Norm Crosby</i><p>Sadly that quote is even more relevant today.
