In the essay "Postconviction DNA Testing Should Not Be Encourage", Peter Rof believes that DNA testing should not be encouraged. Rof has a strong opinion that DNA testing is not always automatically true. Other evidence should be used as well to prove a case. To Rof reopening an old case because the science has changed is not a right. Reopening a case puts a doubt on people, which may increase over time. DNA may sometimes put more doubt than proof. To Peter Rof, DNA testing is not a very good piece of evidence because its not always true.
At first i agreed with DNA testing, but Peter Rof's points made points that made me agree that DNA testing should be encouraged. DNA can be wrong many times. DNA testing can give false impression because a criminal may use gloves and someone else can be mistaken and put in jail. Also reopening an old case is very time consuming. Not only is reopening an old case time consuming, but also costs money. Rof's point to not encourage DNA testing are very strong that it made me really agree to not encourage DNA testing.
