laboratory, the court may order as the interests of justice require | either the State or the petitioner, if the petitioner is able, to | pay the costs of the DNA analysis. |
|
| | 8. Results. The crime lab or private laboratory shall | provide the results of the DNA analysis under this chapter to the | court, the person authorized in section 2137 petitioner and the | attorney for the State. Upon motion by the person petitioner or | the attorney for the State, the court may shall order that copies | of the analysis protocols, laboratory procedures, laboratory | notes and other relevant records compiled by the crime lab or | private laboratory be provided to the court and to all parties. |
|
| A. If the results of the DNA analysis are inconclusive or | show that the person is the source of the evidence, the | court shall deny any motion for a new trial. If the DNA | analysis results show that the person is the source of the | evidence, the defendant's DNA record must be added to the | state DNA data base and state DNA data bank. The court also | shall order the petitioner's probation officer to be | notified of the results. |
|
| B. If the results of the DNA analysis show that the person | is not the source of the evidence and the person does not | have counsel, the court shall appoint counsel if the court | finds that the person is indigent. The, the court shall | then hold a hearing at which the person must establish by | clear and convincing evidence that: pursuant to subsection | 10. |
|
| (1) Only the perpetrator of the crime or crimes for | which the person was convicted could be the source of | the evidence; |
|
| (2) The evidence was collected, handled and preserved | by procedures that allow the court to find that the | evidence is not contaminated or is not so degraded that | the DNA profile of the analyzed sample of the evidence | can not be determined to be identical to the DNA sample | initially collected during the investigation; and |
|
| (3) The person's purported exclusion as the source of | the evidence, balanced against the other evidence in | the case, is sufficient to justify that the court grant | a new trial. |
|
| | 9. Request for reanalysis. Upon motion of the attorney for | the State, the court shall order reanalysis of the evidence and | shall stay the person's motion for a new trial pending the | results of DNA analysis. |
