Another way of finding evidence

So far it just seems like my research is just getting harder and harder every time I begin to start searching. It's beginning to feel like I'm not making any progress looking through Google, Yahoo, and Wikipedia. Until I found a story that explains how a Legislature is trying to create a new bill in Utah to prove that there is other evidence to prove that someone is innocent before they have to spend years in jail because of a false accusation. Usually to find out if a person is innocent they have to run DNA tests to see if that particular person was falsely accussed and proven innocent and this takes a long time so the innocent person will be in prison or jail for a while. This relates to the Anthony Capozzi and Altemio Sanchez story of being the bike path rapist. With this new bill it doesn't have to only be DNA tests to find evidence, it can just be a simple statement or statements that a witness can say to prove that someone can be innocent. But what I am saying about this is, how come no one thought about this earlier? I don't know but it's a good thing that someone thought about it now before it was to late (yeah right).
