Abstract: How can DNA help exonerate those wrongly convicted? Flipping a traditional DNA crime lab to center issues of social justice (Lessons 2-4) Over the next three lessons, the classroom can be conceived of as a larger social justice organization working to use DNA technology to help establish the innocence of those wrongly convicted (e.g., The Innocence Project or Equal Justice Initiative). How does DNA technology allow us to compare an individual's DNA with DNA left at a crime scene?.
