DNA Testing and the Death Penalty

I look at DNA Testing and the Death Penalty. I learned 108 people including 12 death row prisoners were forgiven because of use of DNA testing in the U.S. on June 2002. They use DNA testing to help confirm the innocence or guilt. In 2001, at least 14 of the 38 death penalty states now give prisoners the right to DNA testing. I think DNA testing is very important thing because DNA is very definite. Many prisoners were saved from death penalty after DNA testing.

I asked 4 questions to 3 Americans. I asked these questions. 1. What do you think about DNA testing, is it good or bad? 2. Why? 3. What do you think about the Death penalty? 4. Why is the murder rate going down? Everyone said DNA testing is good because some guy said DNA testing can be use in the courts. An other person said it shows the proof and other person said it can find the criminal easily. Question 3's answer was divided into 2 opinions. 2 people said Death penalty is good. One person said it is bad because many innocent people die. 2 people have no idea about question 4. One person said family value in society has improved over the last several years.
