what if someone is wrongly convicted?

this is one reason  i always get out of jury duty, i always on the form they send tell them that i can not be unbiased on a persons guilt beyond a reasonable doubt with out multiple undeniable sources that show the person is guilty. and without that i would not vote to convict. even when DNA evidence available depending on where the evidence sample was obtained. now if it's DNA from semen taken from a minors rape kit that there is undeniable proof. but if its from some other source, like off of cloths, hair, skin cells, off of anything. no that's not good enough, there have been many people that have been convicted on what is called transferred DNA convicted by that kind of DNA evidence that later turned out to be innocent.  

here is just one example,

In 2012, Lukis Anderson was arrested and charged with the murder of a millionaire in California. Traces of his DNA were found on the victim's fingernails. Law enforcement crafted a theory of the case based on this evidence and Anderson's lengthy criminal record, dangling the death penalty over Anderson's head. Anderson was unable to effectively assist in his own defense. "Maybe I did do it," he told his public defender, not remembering what happened on the night in question due to significant intoxication. After spending five months in jail, Anderson was released when it was uncovered that he was at the hospital when the crime occurred, recovering from intoxication. But how did his DNA get onto the victim's fingernails? Anderson was the victim of touch-transfer DNA misinformation. The two paramedics who had treated Anderson for intoxication, hours before the millionaire was murdered, later responded to the scene of the murder with Anderson's DNA already on them. Contact between the paramedics and the millionaire resulted in the exchange of DNA on their hands, which just happened to include Anderson's DNA from contact that took place hours prior.

there are other examples.

when i read and about things and look at the evidence on different sites and articles that accuse someone and say cut his nuts off, kill the POS, do the same to them, is much different than actually voting to sentence someone to long terms in prison, life in prison or death.
