Two examples that come to mind immediately:
-Similarly incriminating DNA from someone else in addition to the prime suspect.
-Information acquired from the prime suspect himself that points to accomplices.
That's setting the bar pretty high. What about witnesses who claim to have seen two men running from the scene, or heard multiple voices at the time of the murder?
those would be the witnesses that appeared months later and whose testimony is doubtful. The running feet and scream women's story cannot be true... a reenactment later showed them to be impossible and they were actually not sure if it was Halloween the night before when there would have been a lot more rowdy students around... And the eyewitness was also discredited.
