There are a few downsides to DNA evidence:
It has been suggested that the prominence of DNA evidence on TV shows has caused juries to expect irrefutable DNA evidence before convicting someone. This may be a problem if other forms of evidence are ignored.
DNA evidence can only be obtained in instances where biological substances are left behind or exchanged. This only occurs in a minority of cases.
DNA evidence sometimes only proves that the person was present at the scene - it does not always prove guilt. However, if a person's DNA is found at the scene, this may be perceived as proof that they committed the crime.

How conclusive is DNA fingerprinting evidence?
DNA evidence is very conclusive and some say 99% accurate, however it is possible to challenge it based upon faulty collection and/or faulty lab techniques. All evidence can be contaminated by faulty collection and preservation methods and it leaves the evidence open to challenge. One key component to preserving any evidence is maintaining a secure chain of custody of any collected evidence. from the time of collection to the end of the case in court every movement of the evidence must be documented.
