DNA testing bill update
The DNA testing bill has passed the Senate, but must still be approved by the House.
From myrtle beach online:
DNA TESTING: The Senate has passed a bill to allow inmates to request DNA tests to prove their innocence. The bill heading to the House lets anyone convicted of a violent crime ask to have evidence tested for DNA. Inmates who intentionally file false applications would be held in contempt of court and lose good-conduct credit. The state Probation and Parole Department could also use that information in deciding parole.
