A Senate committee last week unanimously advanced House Bill 1068, dubbed the "Post-conviction DNA Act," by Rep. Lee Denney, R-Cushing, and Sen. Jim Halligan, R-Stillwater.

"Oklahoma is the only remaining state that doesn't have such an option," Halligan said. "Although our criminal justice system does its very best and I am very supportive, any system occasionally makes mistakes."

The measure would apply to a person claiming innocence who was convicted of a violent felony or who received a sentence of 25 years or more.

Under the measure, the person could petition the sentencing court for DNA testing. The attorney representing the state would have 60 days to respond to the motion. The sentencing court would then hold a hearing to determine whether DNA forensic testing would be ordered.

The court would order DNA testing if:

If the results of the forensic DNA testing are favorable to the petitioner, the court would hold a hearing to determine the appropriate relief. The options for relief range from vacating the sentence to a new trial to release from custody, among other things.

"I am very much in favor of any legislation that has the potential to free even one person that might have been wrongfully convicted," said Tulsa County Public Defender Jack Zanerhaft.

Drew Edmondson served four terms as attorney general and three terms as Muskogee County district attorney. The Oklahoma City attorney chaired a panel put together by the Oklahoma Bar Association called the Justice Commission, which spent two years studying wrongful convictions and making recommendations.

It has endorsed the legislation, he said.

Senate to consider DNA bill

Francis Crick sketched this diagram of the DNA double-helix molecule in a 1953 letter to his son, Michael. "The model looks much nicer than this," the elder Crick wrote.

By Alan Boyle, Science Editor, NBC News

The descendants of Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA's double helix, are likely to receive a seven-figure sum from this week's sales of the late researcher's Nobel Prize and a handwritten letter describing the structure of the DNA molecule but the geneticists who are carrying on Crick's legacy will win a dividend as well.

"We'll probably be giving more money to the Francis Crick Institute than the prize was worth when he got it," mused Michael Crick, the Nobel-winner's eldest child and the recipient of that historic letter back in 1953.

The sales have been timed to take advantage of the 60th anniversary of the double-helix discovery, which was detailed by Crick and American biologist James Watson in a paper published by the journal Nature on April 25, 1953. Their findings opened the way to deciphering the molecular codes that control all of life's processes. The paper's publication date is now celebrated every year as "DNA Day."

Double helix, double sale Crick's legacy is the focus of two million-dollar sales scheduled in New York this week: On Wednesday, Michael Crick's lettergoes on the auction block at Christie's. His father sent it to the 12-year-old at his boarding school in March 1953 just after the researchers worked out the structure of DNA's long, double-helix molecule, but before the Nature paper's publication. "My dear Michael," the letter began, "Jim Watson and I have probably made a most important discovery."

The seven-page letter goes on to lay out the chemical structure of "des-oxy-ribose-nucleic-acid ... called D.N.A. for short." The elder Crick even sketched out the base pairs connecting the molecule's twisted spines.

"As far as we know, it's the first written description of how life comes from life," Michael Crick, now 72, told NBC News.

The letter has been valued at $1 million to $2 million. Michael Crick and his wife, Barbara, will receive half of the proceeds. The other half will go to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California, where Francis Crick worked up to the time of his deathin 2004 at the age of 88.

When DNA pioneer's Nobel Prize and mementos are sold, science profits

DNA evidence has been a factor in three out of five recent crimes where a suspect was identified.

Police now have more than 100,000 DNA profiles on their database as forensic technology links more offenders to crime scenes than ever.

Latest figures show DNA evidence linking people to crime scenes has been a contributing factor in 58 per cent of cases where there has been an arrest or report so far this financial year. This is an increase of 6 per cent, compared with 2011-12 and up 27 per cent on 2009-10.

Since it began in 1999, the Forensic Science SA DNA database has grown to 103,682 profiles.

Police use a mouth swab to collect DNA samples from any person suspected of committing a serious offence - in accordance with the Criminal Law (Forensic Procedures) Act - which can then be matched against DNA retrieved from crime scenes.

DNA Management Section Senior Sergeant Philip Hanley said technological advancements, including portable fingerprint scanners providing immediate identification of a person who has been previously fingerprinted, would help police identify more offenders.

The scanners will be trialled by police in mid-2013.

"The ability of DNA to identify and/or eliminate suspects, link multiple crime scenes and assist with the identification of injured or deceased persons has made it an invaluable resource for law enforcement agencies across the world," he said.

In February, police used DNA to charge a man over the cold case murder of Yasmin Sinodinos at Anstey Hill in December 1991.

Timo Pasanen, 43, was arrested after his DNA was allegedly matched to some collected from Ms Sinodinos' body 22 years ago.
