An amicus curiae brief is being prepared by scientists Dr. Dan Krane, Dr. Rhonda Williams, and Mr. Arthur Young for the case The State of Texas v. Larry Ray Swearingen, No. AP-77,043, to be submitted by December 14, 2015. The brief will emphasize recent advancements in DNA analysis and its significant implications for the case. It will argue that DNA evidence, particularly from the CODIS database, is now a standard in criminal investigations and can often outweigh strong non-DNA evidence while providing exculpatory insights. The authors request the Court consider this brief before ruling on the Appellee's Motion for Rehearing.
