In a NYTimes podcast Scott Turow discusses his new novel Innocent, which is a sequel to his novel Presumed Innocent. Almost eight minutes into the podcast Turow comments on the changes in the handling of evidence in criminal cases, the foremost of which, he says, is the use of DNA evidence. Turow says, "[H]ad Rusty Sabich [the "hero" of Presumed Innocent] been tried a couple of years later than 1986 ..., his goose would have been cooked because of DNA because of course it is Rusty's DNA that was found in the victim, Carolyn Polhemus."
