Amendment to Fla. Rules of Criminal Procedure: DNA Testing
no. 01-363 & 01-1649
Statewide Impact
The Florida Bar has petitioned the Court to adopt new rules related to DNA
testing of certain inmates. Arguments were held earlier this year, but the Court
requested additional briefing on the relationship of the proposed rules to a
DNA testing statute adopted this year by the Legislature. This is the argument
after rebriefing.
