Thank you.
Thank you all for coming. You may be aware that we've already studied this issue for two separate days. So from my perspective, today is the science day. I'd like to discuss the science part of it--the breakthroughs, what's deficient, and what the changes are--towards two goals. One goal is to try to make sure we exonerate innocent persons with reliability. The other is to actually convict and to assist in the conviction of persons who are actually guilty and to make sure we don't convict anybody who's not actually an offender.
The concern that was left out last time was in regard to false positives. I'd like to discuss that, in particular with reference to the science and the technology, because I believe the ordinary perception on the street would be that once somebody is convicted through the use of DNA evidence, they're guilty. We understand that's not necessarily so, so I'd like you all to discuss that, please. Whoever is most comfortable with the science can begin.
