Databases of both convicted offenders and no-suspect cases demonstrate the power of DNA testing to solve the unsolvable. George “Woody” Clarke is a leading authority in legal circles and among the news media because of his expertise in DNA evidence. In this memoir, Clarke chronicles his experiences in some of the most disturbing and notorious sexual assault and murder court cases in California. He charts the beginnings of DNA testing in police investigations and the fight for its acceptance by courts and juries. He illustrates the power of science in cases he personally prosecuted or in which he assisted, including his work with the prosecution team in the trial of O. J. Simpson. Clarke also covers cases where DNA evidence was used to exonerate. He directed a special project in San Diego County, proactively examining over six hundred cases of defendants convicted and sentenced to prison before 1993, with the goal of finding instances in which DNA typing might add new evidence and then offered testing to those inmates. As Clarke tells the story of how he came to understand and use this new form of evidence, readers will develop a new appreciation for the role of science in the legal system.

Le statut du Parquet est au coeur des débats actuels sur la réforme de la justice. Faut-il, pour parfaire l'indépendance de la justice, rompre le fameux "cordon ombilical" qui, depuis deux siècles, rattache le ministère public au pouvoir exécutif ? Faut-il au contraire envisager la transformation des parquetiers en un corps de fonctionnaires "ordinaires", quitte à réserver la qualité de magistrat aux seuls juges du siège et à séparer strictement les deux corps ? D'un modèle à l'autre, multiples sont les propositions et projets de réforme. Il n'est peut-être pas inutile, dans un tel contexte, d'interroger l'histoire. La mémoire des institutions est plus ou moins longue. Dans toute l'Europe, la justice a été la première composante du plus ancien ministère royal. Singularité française, le ministère public est lui-même l'héritier d'une tradition qui remonte à Philippe le Bel. Gardiens des droits royaux et défenseurs de l'intérêt public, chargés de la poursuite des criminels et de la protection des faibles, les "gens du roi" ont exercé jusqu'à la Révolution un "ministère public" que les réformes napoléoniennes ont en partie perpétué jusqu'à nos jours. Au moment où l'on discute de l'avenir du parquet "à la française", cet ouvrage propose la première synthèse moderne sur son passé
