DNA is similar to a fingerprint in that it is unique to each individual and can be used to identify and distinguish one person from another. Just as a fingerprint is a distinctive mark on a person's skin, DNA is a distinct genetic code that is specific to each person.

Why is it easier to establish innocence than it is to establish guilt in DNA?

ANS1:Because it is technically possible for more than one person to have a similar DNA fingerprint, but it is impossible for someone to have their DNA fingerprint change. So if your fingerprint is:XXYYXYXAnd the guilty persons DNA is:XXXXYYYIt is impossible for you to be the guilty person. But, it is possible that my DNA fingerprint is also XXXXYYY - so please don't commit any crimes near my house or I might get nailed for it.ANS2:DNA fingerprinting always has a margin of error. The error can introduce reasonable doubt. Guilt in a capital case must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
