Texas lawmakers debate a bill by Senator Rodney Ellis to require DNA testing of all DNA evidence before pursuing the death penalty. Ellis argues testing prevents wrongful execution and notes past exonerations after long death-row waits. Attorney General Greg Abbott supports pretrial testing to speed justice for the guilty and protect against false convictions.
