A recent editorial in the Dallas News talks about the legislature passing the bill that extends the DNA evidence testing. The author briefly demonstrates his favor of the bill because he says, “some of them gather to offer moral support when a new innocent brother secures his hard-won freedom”. So many people are imprisoned for crimes that others committed, and having this bill passed would allow those who are behind bars to show that they are innocent people. 
       The author then goes into a specific example, and uses the Michael Morton case, a man who spent 25 years in prison for the murder of his wife but after evidence was tested it showed that the real killer was out in the streets. With the advance in technology we can now do better testing and figure whose DNA is contained in the evidence. The author clearly states what happened in the Morton case and says that Morton's lawyers fought for years so that court could approve to test a bandana that was found near the home where his wife was bludgeoned to death. 
         The author summarizes with stating that it’s a good change that gives courts a clearer direction and avoids fatal errors like imprisoning an innocent person for something that they didn't do. His intended audience is anybody who is interested in new bills that are passed or those who are imprisoned but are really innocent and have evidence that can be DNA tested.
          I agree with the author because I think it's very good change that they can expand the access to DNA evidence testing. It provides specific examples and gives great argument to choose a side. Who would ever go against this bill, I can only think of the people who are really the ones who committed the crime.
