Yes, there will always be trouble determining guilt when the DNA of three or four (or more, a DNA mixture) people are taken in a swab, but a clean sample compared to a clean specimen is going to be far more accurate than you're trying to depict.
Going to ignore this forever RR?
Something else has occurred to me as well. DNA testing has resulted in hundreds (at least) of overturned convictions, just in the last couple decades. How many for eye-witness testimony? Googling it gets you plenty of eyewitness misidentification and little else. See here.
Your "case" is falling apart RR. It's not because we're atheists and want to deny your gawd through denial of testimony. It's because eyewitness testimony by itself sucks huge monkey balls.
It wasn't really pertinent to the topic at hand...so I let it go.
I'd be happy to discuss, if you want to start a thread.
