Here, in Texas, we have a statute that permits defendants to file post-conviction motions for DNA testing and to have an attorney appointed to assist them.

When the statute first passed, there was a flood of DNA testing requests. However, as nearly all the DNA testing has re-affirmed the convictions, the reuqest rate has substantially slowed.

Spell check is our friend.

This truth nixes the shadowy wondering about miscarriages of justice: there are few.
