Sometimes DNA indicates guilt, sometimes it indicates innocence. In a lot of cases it isn't applicable or is contaminated. Advances in technology have proven dozens of death row inmates innocent. While I'd personally pull the lever to fry Chuck Manson, I don't think you can write a perfect law that absolutely prevents any chance of an innocent person being condemned to death. Nothing short of perfection is acceptable when applying the death penalty.
