‘‘(1) over the past decade, deoxyribonucleic acid
testing (referred to in this section as ‘DNA testing’)
has emerged as the most reliable forensic technique
for identifying criminals when biological material is
left at a crime scene;
‘‘(2) because of its scientific precision, DNA testing
can, in some cases, conclusively establish the guilt or
innocence of a criminal defendant;
‘‘(3) in other cases, DNA testing may not conclu-
sively establish guilt or innocence, but may have sig-
nificant probative value to a finder of fact;
‘‘(4) DNA testing was not widely available in cases
tried prior to 1994;

made it possible to get results from minute samples
that could not previously be tested, and to obtain
more informative and accurate results than earlier
forms of forensic DNA testing could produce, result-
