In 1985, Darryl Hunt was convicted of murder. While Hunt was in jail, a new method for analyzing DNA evidence was invented. The DNA evidence on the victim did not match Hunt’s DNA but did match that of another prisoner. After 19 years spent behind bars, Hunt was finally declared innocent and released from prison in 2004.

What aspects of DNA do you think make this possible?  The lengths of the repeated sequences in DNA  The DNA sequences themselves 2. What are some possible uses for technology that can identify people based on their DNA?  Gel electrophoresis [Show More]
