Johnny S. Clarke & Lisa Straub- young Ohio couple murdered

But with the DNA, on the crime shows on tv anyway, there have been times and occasions where LE asked for DNA samples with the thought process to CLEAR an individual. If you had nothing to hide, wouldn't you give a DNA sample--but never take a polygraph? And if you refused to voluntarily give a DNA sample, I would imagine your stock would soar on LE's suspicion scale.[/color]

I'd have to be in deep shit before I'd give my DNA to anybody. If I did, I would have a lawyer draw up some iron clad contract that it had to be destroyed after my being cleared. I'd be afraid of it getting mixed up, with real criminals, by some half assed lab worker or corrupt individual. I'm paranoid like that, lol.

There was a bizarre cold case, in Michigan, where an old murder got pinned on some guy who was currently in prison. Okay, that wasn't too far out but for this - he would have been like 8 years old when the adult murder victim was killed 30 years ago. What does THAT tell you? I'm also very suspicious of the motivations behind the human genome project which is all about collecting the DNA of everyone on earth.

Exactly you would want an iron clad guarantee that your DNA is not going to be misused. The old murder case in Michigan...was that DNA related? I thought DNA was pretty much the pinnacle in deciding who was guilty/innocent.
