From the conclusion of the report: "It is also important to note that DNA testing may be done outside the Chapter 64 procedures. This would include testing done by the agreement of the parties or on the district attorney’s own initiative. The total number of DNA exonerations in Texas from all sources currently stands at 40."<br /><br />Additionally, since the survey was voluntary we didn't get complete responses, although we did hear back from DA's with jurisdictions covering over 82% of the state's population.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213062284521087545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-57253488291385172972010-10-04T08:42:36.885-05:002010-10-04T08:42:36.885-05:00Just a heads up: The Indigent Defense Workshop is ...Just a heads up: The Indigent Defense Workshop is in Austin (rather than San Antonio) at the Texas Association of Counties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-81111698389775856002010-10-03T01:26:40.970-05:002010-10-03T01:26:40.970-05:00What about the shortage of sodium thiopental delay...What about the shortage of sodium thiopental delaying executions throughout the US?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-75448783769631528802010-10-02T20:15:31.736-05:002010-10-02T20:15:31.736-05:00I've often wondered why they have to keep pain...I've often wondered why they have to keep paint cans locked up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-36732024899254128682010-10-02T16:37:37.549-05:002010-10-02T16:37:37.549-05:00I'm by no means the "top promoter of graf...I'm by no means the "top promoter of graffiti," merely a chronicler of the public policy foibles of those who promote the fantasy of solving the problem through arrest and incarceration alone.<br /><br />In Texas, the paint cans are kept under lock and key in the stores by law.
