Two eye-witnesses who are thoroughly vetted by Beis Din so that their stories exactly match, before their testimony is accepted, is required in a criminal case.

I’m not disputing that.

But DNA can be used by courts in different ways. For example, DNA evidence can be used to show that the witnesses are liars, even if their stories exactly match.

In addition, not every case is a criminal case.
