VA’s DNA Testing & Notification Project

The Virginia State Crime Commission discusses the DNA notification project.Modern DNA testing of biological evidence left in files decades ago by a now-deceased Virginia scientist has exonerated 11 individuals who had been convicted of felonies. At the direction of the General Assembly, the State Crime Commission has been trying to track down and notify 975 convicted suspects of their more recent test results. And as Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan reports, although the DNA testing and notification project has been ongoing for more than a decade, the project is still not finished.
