It needs to exist, but at present it is overused and does not have proper safeguards to ensure that innocent people are not put to death. There needs to be some mix of particular types of evidence that prove the suspect committed the crime. Eyewitnesses are notoriously inaccurate. DNA can be planted and can fingerprints. Other evidence can be faked. But enough of different kinds of evidence at some point overwhelms things.
