Kennedy Brewer is one of two men thus far shown to have been wrongly convicted based on the testimony of the now former Mississippi medical examiner Dr. Steven Hayne and disgraced forensic odontologist Dr. Michael West. Brewer filed suit against the two last week. Brewer is asking for $18 million, plus unspecified punitive damages. As an aside, it’s really too bad that it’s so incredibly difficult to sue prosecutors , because Mississippi District Attorney Forrest Allgood should really be included in this suit. Even assuming Allgood wasn’t aware of Hayne’s and West’s dishonesty at the time of the trial (and there’s plenty of reason to think he was fully aware of it), it was Allgood’s efforts to protect his conviction , his continued reliance on West’s testimony as the chief evidence against Brewer in the appeals process long after West had been exposed as a fraud, and his stubborn refusal to check the DNA in the case against the state’s Database that kept Kennedy Brewer in prison years after DNA tests exonerated him. Allgood’s obstinance in the Brewer case also prolonged the wrongful imprisonment of another man, Levon Brooks. When the DNA samples were finally run against the state Database, they pointed to a single man as the culprit in the separate crimes for which Allgood convicted Brooks and Brewer. He later confessed. My sources say part of the reason Allgood was so stubborn in the Brewer case is that he knew DNA testin ...

By ASHLEY M. LEWIS, Capital News Service ANNAPOLIS — Two years ago, nearly 25,000 DNA samples from convicted felons were sitting around the Maryland State Police laboratory. Due to lack of funds and long-vacant job positions, the samples had never been analyzed or catalogued into the state's DNA Database system. Today, even though the backlog has been completely erased, defense attorneys are concerned about the potential for an even larger backlog when the new DNA collection law i...

With a six-month trial program, the city of Petah Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv, intends to build a DNA Database of local dogs in order to match improperly disposed droppings with owners. Residents are being asked to usher their pooch to a municipal veterinarian where a DNA sample can be collected. Now THIS is how a government ought to spend. ...

Two years ago, nearly 25,000 DNA samples from convicted felons were sitting around the Maryland State Police laboratory. Due to lack of funds and long-vacant job positions, the samples had never been analyzed or catalogued into the state's DNA Database system. Today, even though the backlog has been completely erased, defense attorneys are concerned about the potential for an even larger backlog when the new DNA collection law is enacted next year. They argue those backlogs could lead to more unsolved crimes and faulty convictions due to contaminated DNA samples. Beginning Jan. 1, DNA samples will be taken from those who are charged with committing or attempting to commit burglary and violent crimes, including rape and sexual crimes, abduction, and child abuse. Greg Shipley, spokesman for the Maryland State Police, estimates that the crime lab will see between 4,000 and 6,000 additional DNA samples each year after the law takes effect. Previously, DNA samples were taken only from individuals that were convicted of those crimes. Specifically citing that the extensive backlog was completely eliminated in 2007, the Maryland State Police maintain that the lab is well-equipped to handle the increase in DNA samples. "We'll be able to accommodate the different workload. There will be a significant increase, but the government has allocated significant resources for the process," Mr. Shipley said. ...
The test results are back and now JoAnn and Bob Rush know their dog’s breed, or in this case, breeds. The Rushes recently took their two-year-old mixed-breed shelter pup, “Rosie,” to the Kewanee Veterinary Clinic, where she was the first dog in Kewa-nee to have a new canine DNA test now available. “Rosie” was adopted from the Kewanee Animal Shelter when she was about three months old. She had been abandoned, was severely undernourished and weighed about 12 pounds when they took her home. They knew she had more than one breed in her family tree, but had no way of telling what they were. Knowing a breed (or breeds) in a dog’s makeup can help understand their behavior, and help determine diet and health needs, they decided to get the DNA test.. Dr. Dave Modder had heard of the DNA test for dogs but was not able to get it locally until a few weeks ago. The test is administered by a kit produced by Mars Veterinary called the Wisdom Panel MX mixed breed analysis. A blood sample is taken and sent away to be tested. Each sample is analyzed at more than 300 markers and compares the dog’s genetic variations to an extensive Database which can detect more than 130 American Kennel Club-recognized breeds. Specific combinations, known as breed signatures, indicate the presence of particular breeds in the dog’s history. So, what’s “Rosie” Bush? According to the test results returned to Dr. Modder and revealed to Bob and JoAnn, “Rosie” is part Al ...
