Consider that you are a juror in the trial of a crime suspect. The prosecution presents information that the suspect's DNA was found at the crime scene in the form of sweat on an old shirt and saliva on a cigarette butt. They say the DNA from the shirt and the DNA from the cigarette butt both match the suspect's DNA with 99.9% certainty. After hearing the prosecution's case, the defense attorney states that both sweat and saliva are body fluids and do not contain DNA. Furthermore, the defense also states that DNA technology is based on theory and no one can actually prove that his client was at the crime scene - since there were no eye witnesses nor any video proof. Upon adjourning to the jury room, you find your peers mixed in opinion. Some support the prosecution's evidence while others are in favor of the defense's claims.

Your instructions for this activity are to pick a side and support your choice with evidence (not just your opinion - although you may give it). You may use the internet for research, but be very careful as to which websites you trust for information. For example, a blog post about DNA conspiracy is probably not the best asset for reliable information.
