In 75% to 80% of all sexual assault cases, there is no DNA evidence, Nifong said.

“DNA results can often be helpful, but you know, I’ve been doing this a long time, and for most of the years I’ve been doing this we didn’t have DNA,” he said. “We had to deal with sexual assault cases the good old-fashioned way. Witnesses got on the stand and told what happened to them.”
