Yet again we see the folly of sending a lad to do a man’s job. David Cameron wants to scrap DNA records.
These records not only help to convict, but also to clear suspects, which is very important in rape allegations.
Had DNA records been available years ago, possible innocent victims of the system could have been spared the gallows.
DNA evidence could be used to strengthen the argument to return to the death penalty, but as Cameron won’t stand up to the EU, it’s not very likely.
How about a referendum on the subject?
