Use of DNA Evidence is Growing

     It’s not just for murders and rapes anymore.  Now the police can submit evidence from break-ins to the coroner, such as a sweaty baseball cap or gloves, if no blood or semen is available. This is because DNA tests have become more sensitive.  Due to a recent change in Ohio law, felons have to provide DNA samples once in prison. Hamilton Country sheriff Tom Corbett believes this is helping more than you can measure, because it’s helping to identify people who commit a string of crimes.
