I guess I assumed that DNA is commonly what is used to reverse decisions. How do you reverse decisions based on eyewitness ID? I can understand that the trial records can be looked into regarding bad lawyering, and false confessions and police/prosecutorial misconduct can be discovered after the fact, but how do you "un-ID" a bad eyewitness?

None the less, with DNA taking the place that it does, it's probably good to be aware of Chimera, especially when dealing with such small DNA samples (as you mentioned elsewhere) being recovered which could also lead to many more mixed samples.

You were convicted based on a bad eyewitness identification and not a forensic mis-identification, is that correct?

Since DNA seems to be the most common denominator in what The Innocence Project does, are you familiar with Chimera, whereas a human contains two sets of DNA?
