13. c. The fact that would most strengthen this argument is the percentage of cases in which DNA evi-dence overturned prior convictions. If half of all cases resulted in erroneous convictions that werelater cleared by DNA evidence, then that should certainly draw other convictions into doubt. The factthat one in three of today’s convictions rest on DNA evidence has no bearing on prior convictions, sochoice ais incorrect. Similarly, the admissibility of DNA evidence (choice b) has no bearing on thequality of prior convictions. That DNA evidence is accurate (choice d) and difficult to tamper with(choice e) strengthens the argument for the use of DNA evidence in court, but it does not directlystrengthen the argument that prior convictions should be called into doubt.
