Following up on one of Wednesday’s posts, we see that a bill has now been introduced in the Ohio Senate Wednesday that is designed to expand the use of DNA testing and to better protect biological evidence collected from crime scenes. ( Bill )
According to this yesterday’s Enquirer, the bill would also make police lineups and photo arrays “blind,” better preventing misleading cues being given witnesses about suspects; videotaping all questioning & confessions, and the setting of specific guidelines for that process; and for DNA testing to cover parolees on a voluntary basis.
North Carolina passed preservation statutes last year, and, like now Ohio, Arizona and Colorado have legislation pending.
