By the way, there are also many activities and organizations globally which also work on the rehabilitation of criminal cases, and affected by the Innocent project.Taiwan Association for Innocence began to work in 1992 was the very example which affected by the Innocent Project above. And Taiwan Association for Innocence helped the defendant named Long-Chi Chen to make a retrial claim, which is the rehabilitation case can be attributed to the wrongful DNA evidence. Innocent Cases can be attributed to many factors which can be also explained by cases, so the essay will add cases into each category. DNA was discovered by two scientists, the Ametican biologist named James D. Waston and the Britishman named Francis Crick in 1953. DNA can be applied to many fields such as parental relationship appraisal, criminal proof providing, catastrophy, antiques appraisal, biological species and disease prevention. In addition,we’ll deal with the parts where the DNA are located- the nuclear and some codes concering with DNA collection. It’s the important day to Long-Chi Chen on 26th, March, 2013 for redress. He was convicted for drunk rape, and suffered from three trials with guilty. For changing his life, so he decides to seek fevor to Taiwan Association for Innocence.
