the innocence project uses DNA to get people wrongfully convicted released. It is very interesting.
I don't know if you want to know how it is done, or if you just want to know about cases where DNA evidence was used. I assume that you're american? If you go to federal courts website http://www.uscourts.gov/electaccrt.html
you should be able to find some information by looking at specific cases. look for murders, rape etc. You should also be able to find the same information at the state level.
If you don't want to do the work though, you could look up A&E programs- they do shows on unsolved crimes and cold case files- that should help you narrow down your search.

The A&E cable television channel has those shows, Investigative Reports, American Justice and Cold Case Files, you might want to check into them. Find A&E (Arts & Entertainment) first, then find those particular shows from there.

Here's a good starting point (it includes a list of notable DNA cases):

(scroll down to "Cases")
Another article with some examples:
