Blogging for Your Life
T
his is an interesting thing: a death penalty lawyer using a blog to draw attention to his death-row client's efforts to get the DNA testing that might exonerate him.
Given advances in DNA technology, it's a bit hard to understand why the state wouldn't do DNA testing before a clemency hearing in any case where there's a plausible claim of actual innocence. And as the blog itself says, if the state can run DNA testing on 46 Duke lacrosse players in a week, it's hard to understand why the state can't also run DNA testing on anyone it's about to execute.
