DESCRIPTION:
(from Investigation Discovery's press release, April 2009) DALLAS DNA chronicles the legal drama and the astounding ramifications behind a pioneering unit within the Dallas County's District Attorney's office, where post-conviction DNA testing is being used to clear the innocent, as well as confirm the guilty. A new era of justice is emerging in Dallas County, Texas where the Conviction Integrity Unit has been tasked with re-examining hundreds of petitions submitted by inmates seeking post-conviction DNA testing and reinvestigating the cases that could be examples of injustice. Some of the cases profiled in DALLAS DNA result in exonerations, where inmates are released after decades behind bars for crimes they did not commit. |
