FEATURE
Indiana’s legislature passed a law last session that requires police to collect DNA from people arrested in connection with a felony. That law went into effect on January first. The DNA, which is collected with a cotton swab from the inside of a person’s mouth, goes into a federal data base. In today’s Feature report, WFHB News Director Wes Martin speaks with with Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council Executive Director David Powell about their support for the law.
