Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Last I read, it's 'official' - photos *alone* are no longer
evidence, in US courts. IIRC this was a recent Appellate Court decision. Of course the reason is obvious; not merely PhotoShop. Everything can now be faked. We LOVE fakes. SO much more entertaining than actual life.

{sigh} We all know how reliable is "eye-witness testimony" - ask those pitiful few freed thus far from murder convictions - largely accomplished originally via sweet-deals with accomplices: to lie and convict. No photos w/o "provenance"! Can fingerprints be far behind? (Hear a rumour of That being assailed, too).

Seems that homo-sap is such a certifiably chronic liar: most anything presented in 'evidence' might be BS. Except so far - DNA (and we may be certain that there is great scurrying to find a way to mess with That, SAP).

Just HOPE - you never find self in a 'court', especially if you're a practising Zoroastrian or Cargo Cultist.

New DNA?
Last I heard, the forensic value wasn't really demonstrated.

The science was done on large, fresh, clean samples. The forensics are done on tiny, old, contaminated samples.

DNA is pretty much incontrovertible when there are large, clean samples. Otherwise, well, maybe there has been research I didn't hear about.
