DNA testing sought to free Houston rape convict
Houston attorney Mark Wawro argues DNA testing on a hair from the 1987 kidnapping and rape case of George Rodriguez could prove he did not commit the crime. A panel found serious misstatements in trial testimony by Jim Bolding, former HPD DNA chief, prompting postconviction scrutiny and concerns about the lab. Barry Scheck notes broader issues at the Houston crime lab as postconviction testing points to systemic problems.
