Kidnapping, Murder Suspect Wants Info on DNA Evidence
Lawyers for the man accused of kidnapping and killing 18-year old Kelsey Smith want data showing how DNA evidence was tested Reporter: AP |

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) _ Lawyers for Edwin Hall, the man accused of killing 18-year-old Kelsey Smith, want prosecutors to hand over data showing how DNA was tested in the case.
Prosecutors say they'll provide the defense with an electronic copy of the D-N-A analyzed by the lab, but the data will be in a read-only format.
Paul Cramm, one of Hall's lawyers, says he needs an unlocked format. He says the defense expert needs the same freedom that prosecutors have to adjust parameters when analyzing the DNA.
Hall is accused of kidnapping Smith from an Overland Park Target store June 2, raping and killing her. He's charged with capital murder, rape, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated criminal sodomy. The state is seeking the death penalty.
A hearing on the case is scheduled for tomorrow.

I hope they turn do this. It would be important that there be nothing that leaves a doubt in this case. Family and community need to see that the process was done right for everyone.
