Arkansas is about to execute a brain damaged man found guilty under precisely those circumstances, having refused to test some of the DNA evidence

That probably goes on a lot more than people are willing to admit.

"Additionally, Lee was tried by a judge who concealed his own conflict of interest: an affair with the assistant prosecutor, to whom the judge was later married. Mr. Lee’s first state post-conviction counsel introduced the evidence of the affair by calling the judge’s ex-wife, who testified about the affair after opposing the subpoena. That lawyer, however, was so intoxicated at the hearing that the state moved for him to be drug tested after he slurred, stumbled, and made incoherent arguments.

The inebriated lawyer also represented Lee briefly in federal court, where he raised the important claim that Lee was ineligible for execution because of intellectual disability."

Not even judges are immune from having affairs, obviously. People shouldn't be naive as to think differently, their junk works just as well as anyone else's.
