You're describing the process working—DNA gave investigators a lead, which they followed up with legally obtained, direct evidence tying DeAngelo to the crime. That’s not guilt by association; that’s good policing. Framing that as something sinister ignores the outcome: a serial rapist and murderer finally faced justice. That’s not dystopia—it’s what society should be doing—or would you rather a rapist, kidnapper and murderer walked freely?
