He details the fight for DNA testing's acceptance in courts and its transformative impact on police investigations.Beyond securing convictions, Clarke initiated a groundbreaking San Diego County project, proactively re-examining over six hundred pre-1993 convictions for DNA evidence, leading to exonerations.
