A test that comes up blank doesn't prove a particular person innocent.

A test that comes up with a real match to an unknown DNA profile may exonerate a suspect, but if there's multiple rapes involved (i.e. a woman says she was screwed by two guys) then all DNA testing can do is count people IN.

Think of it like fingerprints - find a print and you know that the owner of the print was certainly there. Find nothing and you know nothing.
