In this case, sites like 23andMe were only used to generate leads on suspects. Two independent forensic DNA tests were used for evidence of guilt. I agree that DNA testing has flaws, but that's the purpose of the criminal trial. Defendants have due process rights to cross-examine the DNA testing process, present their own testimony, and provide exculpatory evidence.
