Criminals on CSI Miami seem very willing to confess based on the assertion of genetic evidence. Mind you, I am basing this on only one episode, but the exchange at the end went something like this:
"It got too slippery for Jimmy on your boat, didn't it?"
"He was never on my boat."
"We found his DNA there."
"Oh, that. Yeah, I found him in the water, then killed him because he wouldn't give my drugs back."
He must have been kicking himself later that it never occurred to him to say "I don't know what you're talking about".

Yeah, but then if there is DNA evidence, you are much less credible, because DNA is almost incontrovertible
Mind you, if you'd owned up in the first place, you might be more credible altogether.
That's true, but DNA on the boat doesn't prove that you were there when the DNA was left. That was my main point.
