John Doe Modern Style

I am sure you have seen it. Heck I know you have Roe v. Wade is a great example. To avoid privacy concerns a name is changed to Doe in a court case or in the famous example above Roe, but this is a new twist!

Not knowing the name of a rapist, the Prosecutor files using a DNA profile instead of a name. How bizarre, but creative! No statute problems for me.
