Conviction was unsafe because material forensic DNA evidence excluded the appellant as the source of DNA on victim's fingernails, brassiere and the window grill, the identification process was defective and of little value, inadmissible section 27 material was relied upon without discovery, and the trial court misapplied adverse inference under section 114(g); therefore appellate intervention to set aside conviction and sentence was required.
