Karma--The Righteous but Black Hearted Kind
Here is an article about a man, Claude Howard Jones, executed 10 years ago whose conviction and death sentence was based in part on analysis of a recovered hair at the crime scene.

The hair was the only non accomplice testimony that put Jones at the scene and Texas law requires something more than mere accomplice testimony to convict. So whether or not it was Jones' hair is a big deal, legally.

Not going to worry about this any more.
