Description:At a time when a nationwide DNA database is being compiled by the British police,Equinox investigates the disturbing possibility that faith in the science behind DNA testing may be fatally misplaced.
The police,scientists and government all claim that DNA evidence is virtually foolproof and that the chance of two people sharing the same DNA is billions to one. DNA In The Dock,reveals a very different story and examines individual cases - including that of David Hicks,who awaits execution on the basis of DNA evidence. A documentary that goes to the heart of our notions of justice.
