Question: How does the DNA evidence prove if a person is innocent or guilty?

Answer: The Forensic DNA scientist’s task is only to find the match between an unknown DNA profile retrieved from crime scene against known reference samples. However, the match between DNA profiles alone cannot prove whether or not a person is guilty for a convicted crime but instead should be used together with other evidence.
