I don't know the specifics either. I would expand "DNA Testing" to include all modern forensics testing. I just don't think it is very easy to fool the "Dr. Baden's" of this world like maybe it once was a decade or two ago.

I would think that most cases have supporting forensic evidence, even if the case was not purely "based on" it.

Probably not a good word... "twist" might be a better choice, again thinking back on the lawyers in the OJ case....
