DNA testing is often used in Innocence Project cases to prove the innocence of a convicted individual. Since Jenna is trying to prove her client's innocence, it is likely that she has requested a new DNA test. Testimony and witness statements may also be used in the case, but they are not necessarily related to the new test being requested. ANA is not a relevant term in this context.
