              Spitzer proposes DNA database expansion
Monday, May 14th, 2007 Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced yesterday he will submit legislation to expand the state’s DNA databank mandating the collection of DNA from every person convicted of a crime, as well as individuals on probation, on parole supervision, or registered as sex offenders. The bill also extends the statute of limitations for crimes in which law enforcement has recovered the perpetrator’s DNA, but has not yet been able to match it to a known individual. Under current law, the state only collects DNA samples from about half of the defendants convicted of crimes, Spitzer said, which “severely limits available criminal evidence, and leads to difficulty solving serious crimes.” Other provisions: The bill also will:—Establish best practices for the collection and preservation of DNA evidence; and—Require defendants to bring all their post-conviction challenges in one motion at the same time, while simultaneously preserving an exception permitting additional post-conviction challenges based upon newly discovered evidence of innocence.—Expand the opportunity for innocent defendants who are exonerated to seek compensation from the State. http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2007/05/14/spitzer-proposes-dna-database-expansion/ Have Your Say: Spitzer proposes DNA database expansion Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
