: How Appealing"Supreme Court: Prisoners Have No Right to DNA Evidence."
David G. Savage of The Los Angeles Times has a news update headlined "Supreme Court rules DNA tests for prisoners not a constitutional right; By a 5-4 vote, the justices say current protections are enough for convicts who believe old genetic evidence will exonerate them."
In Friday's edition of The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin and Jennifer S. Forsyth will have an article headlined "Court Upholds States in DNA Testing of Convicts."
Warren Richey of The Christian Science Monitor has articles headlined "Convicts have no constitutional right of access to DNA evidence, Supreme Court says; In a 5-4 decision involving a rape case in Alaska, the court leaves the issue to states" and "What impact will Supreme Court decision on DNA evidence have? The defendant's advocates decried the court's ruling against a convict's right to such evidence, but Attorney General Eric Holder suggested it would have a limited effect."
Mark Sherman of The Associated Press reports that "High court says convicts lack right to DNA testing."
James Vicini of Reuters reports that "U.S. top court rejects right for criminals to DNA tests."
And at "SCOTUSblog," Lyle Denniston has posts titled "Court rejects DNA access claim" and "Handing off the DNA issue."
You can access today's ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in District Attorney's Office for Third Judicial Dist. v. Osborne, No. 08-6, at this link.
