DNA evidence has helped with the innocence of people on death row. Many people are falsely accused for crimes they haven’t committed due to lack of proof to support them. Once DNA evidence was found, many people were not committed for as many crimes and weren’t falsely sent to death row. Before DNA evidence was discovered people were accused for crimes based off of only an eyewitness. There was no real evidence to prove them guilty for the crime. This lead to many being falsely convicted for crimes they didn’t commit and resulted in them being innocent and sent to death row or straight to the death penalty.
