Chief Justice allows DNA samples from Maryland suspects

Posted on July 20, 2012 by pogowasright.org

Sung Un Kim reports:

US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Wednesday temporarily stayed a Maryland Court of Appeals ruling that police could not collect DNA from individuals arrested for violent crimes and burglaries. The appeals court struck down the DNA collection law  in April, finding a violation of the arrestee’s Fourth Amendment  right to privacy. Roberts’ one-sentence decision will remain in effect at least until July 25 when a response is due from the defendant, Alonzo Jay King. The court may agree to hear the case when it reconvenes in October.
