The "heyday" is gone.Interesting article. I think all the CSI shows give the public a higher expectation than feasible.
With cameras everywhere and people freely turning in their DNA to centralized dbs and digital tracking of transactions I'm surprised we don't solve and convict 90%+ of murders in the US.
Here's an article saying we only "solved" 60% of the murders last year. Forget the conviction rate.

A 600 batting average isn't bad but if you're a bad guy , neither is hitting around 400
