WI Innocence Project urges state to fix DNA database

A law group is urging the state to improve how DNA samples are submitted to the database.

A week ago a State Justice Department Review discovered DNA from at least 12,000 inmates was missing from the database.

The Wisconsin Innocence Project works on 30 to 40 cases of inmates who they believe could have been wrongfully convicted with DNA as the backbone of their arguments.
