In what can only be described as judicial horror, the Supreme Court today, in a 5-4 decision, has stripped prisoners of the right to have post-conviction DNA evidence submitted to clear their name.
The inmate in question, William Osborne, was convicted in 1994 of rape, based in part on DNA evidence taken from a condom. However, apparently the DNA testing method used at the time is outmoded and fraught with errors.
