Ohio inmate DNA testing update

Post-scripting our post last Tuesday, a bill was introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives that following Wednesday that would provide eligibility for post-conviction DNA testing to inmates who had pleaded “guilty” or “no contest” to felony charges and were sentenced to prison terms or death.

Ohio Revised Code § 2953.72 (c)(2) at present bars that eligibility.
