Title:

Expansion of DNA Collection Law

Description:

There are always some groundbreaking cases going on in the courts around the United States and one issue that is getting the attention of more than one Philadelphia County criminal lawyer is the fact that in Vermont there has been an effort by some state attorneys to expand the circumstances under which a court could compel someone to offer up their DNA for testing. Defense attorneys in that state and in nearby jurisdictions are suggesting that requiring additional samples to be collected raises issues of privacy for individuals who have been convicted of crimes recently.
