Of the 560 (15)_____ files, they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still (16)_____ innocence.
They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man (17)_____ 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the (18)_____ shirt—too small a (19)_____ to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. (20)_____ by San Diego, 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.

C、recognizable
