Final Answer:
DNA analysis is designed to prevent the mishandling of evidence.
Explanation:
- The primary physical evidence utilized by the prosecution to connect O. J. Simpson to the crime in the O. J. Simpson murder case was DNA evidence because there were no witnesses to the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
- 108 exhibits of DNA evidence, including 61 drops of blood, were submitted at trial over the course of nine weeks of testimony. No differences were discovered after the testing was cross-checked and certified at three different labs using various methods. The defense declined the prosecution's offer to provide them access to the evidentiary samples so they could perform their own testing.
- The defense's reasonable doubt theory was "compromised, poisoned, perverted," according to its summary. They contended that the evidence was contaminated during processing, with Simpson's preserved DNA being transferred to all but three exhibits, and that during the collection phase of evidence-gathering, the evidence was compromised by improper handling and 100% of the DNA of the real killer was lost. They claimed that the police had fabricated the blood evidence and bribed the other three.
