DNA Evidence

 February 15,2015 Dallas Morning News published an article about a new law passed in Texas. 

Texas Legislatures just passed a law allowing for DNA evidence testing. I believe that DNA testing will allow many innocent people to prove that they are not guilty. So many people are convicted of crimes without enough evidence. Hopefully testing can help solve most cases in a faster and more efficient  way. Testing will probably be more cost effective and time consuming but it’ll sure help out in clues for the case. I believe DNA testing should only be upon request if the person feels that confident and knows that they didn’t do it they should be given the option to run a DNA test. If we provided DNA testing for every case we'd be wasting time and money. Cases would probably be open longer and it will take longer to find an answer. Having this option open will help people feel more confident that they aren't guilty of a crime.

On Wednesday, February 4, 2015, the My San Antonio published a link titled Gun rights activist: "Treason is punishable by death"

Knowing that people need a gun just to feel safe sounds crazy to me. That means the people they don’t feel safe around will also be allowed to carry guns. I’m just wondering if these gun advocates have taken that into mind. As for a really close friend of mine interning for Poncho at the time of the confrontation was beyond upsetting. We discussed the issue since he was there at the time. I don’t think that people who want to be confronting others should even be allowed with a weapon. Some psychological license needs to come out if these people want to be carrying guns. Think about it if the man confronting Poncho at the Capital that day had a hand gun and was confronting Poncho on this issue he could have immediately used it without thinking.
