RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
CRIMINAL LAW--POST CONVICTION DNA TESTING--RESULTS--SCOPE. The Court found that it was error for the circuit court to deny a defendant's request to be provided with the DNA testing data for the purpose of obtaining an analysis and opinion by a qualified bioinformaticist after a private laboratory that tested a DNA sample pursuant to an order granting the defendant's rule 3.853 motion had found the test to be inconclusive. The DNA testing results to which the defendant was entitled under section 925.11(2)(i) included the underlying testing data, not merely the private lab's report that testing was "inconclusive." The defendant was not required to show how any analysis of the testing data would exonerate him in order to be entitled to receipt of the testing data.
