My comment was more general. The criminal justice system permits illiterate jurors to deliberate on the basics to complicated forensic matters. It privileges fallacious arguments over scientific reasoning. Judges themselves make decisions more on how much energy they have?the biggest predictor of a parole decision was how close a hearing is to lunchtime. It puts import on witnesses despite their flaws. The punishment thing never works and serves only to activate the neural reward system of the punishers. It?s persistent belief in free will.
There?s barely a positive to list.
"It privileges fallacious arguments over scientific reasoning."
One can argue DNA away? Well, I suppose the chain-of-custody, potential forcontamination and bias of the lab facility and workers could be up for debate.
But generally, DNA is something that prevails and that juries understand.
Your alternative legal system would effectively do away with circumstantial evidence, sideline witness accounts, and ultimately empty the jails.
