DNA Does Not Lie ??

Syed Hamid Albar, the Minister of Internal Affairs, stated that DNA samples never lie clearly referring to Anwar Ibrahim's refusal to give blood sample for DNA profiling in connection with an alleged sodomy case. I totally agree with him, scientifically speaking only that is.

Anwar Ibrahim, the de facto Opposition leader, a few days ago was arrested by police and remanded for questioning. He was released in less than 24 hours of detention after posting a bail.

Like Anwar's similar case in 1998, for which he was subsequently acquitted, the medical reports were proven to be doctored. What guarantee can one have against such manipulations not to recur ? Properly validated DNA result on its own could stand in any court of law, but to match it with the crime-scene evidence is a different card game altogether. The court shall have to be satisfied that such evidence was gathered legitimately and not planted. What stop the DNA samples being spattered where it mattered in order to corroborate with the evidence ? You may plant a sachet of illicit drugs in the pocket of someone when you want to nab him for any reasons at all.
