   That’s a very good piece of information and evidence. If you can get a hold of it, by all means use it if you can.

   Yes. Although all forms of evidence can be tampered with, contaminated, or give misleading results, DNA evidence is one of the most reliable forms of evidence there is — much better than eyewitness testimony, for example.

   Yes, it has been used as evidence in criminal proceedings since 1985.
