I mean you can just do basic research on how many people are convicted and how many crimes are committed. You made a false claim that the purpose is just to convince a jury that someone is guilty. This is completely ridiculous and is in line with leftist propaganda. The best thing is to just realize the error than defending this bad assertion. Forensics are used to identify victims and do assist an enormous amount of cases to find perpetrators. Again, you haven’t explained why they are not clearing all if these cases with tangentially connected individuals. Are there false convictions, convictions based on malicious prosecutors not searching for the truth, etc? Yes, of course. But I don’t know if you are familiar with the United States but it it is massive in scale compared to other countries and one of the largest countries without an in-effect autocracy. I think you would be shocked at how many crimes are committed every year and people rely on law enforcement find and prosecute those perpetrators. You might think that sounds stupid or like TV “copaganda” but that is a reality.

I have lived in the US my whole life. I'm well aware of how the justice system works, as I pointed out above. My claim is not false, it is borne out by the facts of what actually happens. The comment above lays out the numbers. There is zero incentive in the law for a prosecutor or a police officer to punish the guilty person. There is great incentive to punish someone, anyone so that everyone's statistics look good for promotion. The reason that not all cases are cleared is that not all prosecutors and police officers are crooks. One could even say that most of them aren't. That fact doesn't bear on my assertion. And your accusation of me being a leftist is about the silliest assertion anyone has ever made.
