Can a Convicted Death Row Inmate Use DNA Evidence to Prove Innocence?

Not necessarily.

In both 2301 (while we discuss civil liberties) and 2302 ( while we discuss the role of judiciary) we will wade into this question. Is it the responsibility of the appellate courts to determine innocence, or is that strictly a trial court responsibility? Does the Supreme Court do "justice" or does it simply stick to process?
