Concept of controversy
(By Saturday Morning the latest)
Read the following 3 essays as examples of finding various research sources regarding the same controversial topic: “Post-conviction DNA Testing Should Be Encouraged” (beginning on page 501); “In Same Case, DNA Clears Convict and Finds Suspect” (beginning on page 504); and “Post-conviction DNA Testing Should Not Be Encouraged (beginning on page 507).
Most people do not consider the topic of DNA testing as controversial. After reading the 3 essays, comment on the advantageous and disadvantages, and limitations of DNA testing. Since DNA testing is so sensationalized on detective television shows such as CSI and Law and Order, now real life juries often expect such conclusive evidence when they serve on a case. How might these expectations affect our judicial system? Please integrate a quote from at least two of the readings to support your response. (approximately 250 words)
