Something right!!

So far they have exonerated over ten individuals using DNA technology. Sadly, some who have been proven innocent still have criminal records because the governor has not yet signed their pardons. (But that's another story right?)

This is good stuff Maynard. I understand this program will be featured on the television network A&E.

Here is some info from the Dallas County District Attorney's Office.

Conviction Integrity Unit

Established by District Attorney Craig Watkins in July of 2007, the Conviction Integrity Unit oversees the post-conviction review of more than 400 DNA cases in conjunction with the Innocence Project of Texas (IPOT) and in accordance with the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Chapter 64 (Motion for Forensic DNA Testing). In addition to the IPOT project, the Conviction Integrity Unit investigates and prosecutes old cases (DNA and non-DNA related) where evidence identifies different or additional perpetrators. Special Field Bureau Chief Mike Ware supervises the Conviction Integrity Unit, the Appellate Division, the Public Integrity Division, the Federal Division and the Mental Health Unit, as well as public information, evidence destruction and expunctions at the District Attorney’s Office. The Conviction Integrity Unit is staffed by one assistant district attorney, one investigator and one legal assistant. This special division is the first of its kind in the United States.
