Exactly. Convictions through the roof. That's why they should take it to court. Far as overturned, do you have data on how many got to prove something with DNA? Or conviction rate without it?

RAINN say[0], based on DOJ/FBI data, that ~30% of rapes get reported and only ~4% lead to a conviction

Ridiculously low rate of conviction

You just suggested, in the comment I replied to, that there were significant numbers of overturned rape convictions. There are not. "Exactly"?

Maybe I remembered wrong. I retract that one for now. I'll reinvestigate the topic later on.
