: FSU College of Law Library BlogCourt clarifies DNA review
By jlutz99
From the SCOTUSBlog:
The Supreme Court, ruling Monday on a granted case that never came up for oral argument, decided summarily that flaws in presenting DNA evidence during a criminal trial do not necessarily undermine the value of a conviction based in part on that evidence. After having the Nevada rape case of Troy Brown under review for nearly a full year, the Court decided it in an unsigned opinion and rejected two constitutional challenges to the conviction. It sent back to lower courts a third challenge. The decision was based mainly on a legal ground that neither side in the case believed remained in issue ? the sufficiency of the DNA evidence, under Jackson v. Virginia (1979).
