1. A.B. Butler, he was convicted of rape and kidnapping.
2. Eyewitness Misidentification.
3. He served in prison for 16 years.
4. Seaman testing.
5. There were many different progressions in DNA testing "In the early 1900s, the first attempts of genetic  testing were made with the advent of blood typing. Quickly thereafter, techniques with higher powers of exclusion were adopted through serological and HLA tests. It was only in the 1980s that scientists began using DNA characteristics as evidence of biological relationships." ~DNA Junction.
6. This story has decreased my trust in the justice system of the past 20 years, but i feel much more safe in the current system. I feel that science has made me feel reassured that there IS a way to find the truth.

  1. Jasper, ALL blog posts are to be in the form of paragraphs, like an article. You were given a week to do this, this could have been done in 5 minutes.
