Quite the opposite.
Recombinant DNA can mean today someone finds a few of your skin cells. Grows more of your DNA in the lab. Sprinkles it around the crime evidence collected from 2 decades ago. And boom, now your butt's in a sling.
Except that pesky SOL means framing you for the old crime leaves the framer sol.

I'd guess a small minority of criminal trials involve DNA.

I agree, but you need to be able to defend yourself...and if everyone who may be able to help in that is dead, you would be at a pretty unfair disadvantage.

The most serious offenses have no statute of limitations in LA. Anything punishable by life or death, so First and second degree murder, agg kidnapping, first degree rape, and "for any sex offense may be commenced beyond the time limitations set forth in this Title if the identity of the offender is established after the expiration of such time limitation through the use of a DNA profile." Also, if it's any sex offense committed on a victim under 17, the period until the victim turns 28.
