Re: No Evidence
If there is no DNA and there is no evidence of violence, then a competent defense attorney has stronger facts to work with. It does not mean that there is no evidence. Despite media reports of high-profile cases, it is rare to have a case thrown out after indictment. Normally there are pretrial hearings, and maybe even trial. Get a lawyer.
