FBI links states to DNA database

By Michael J. Stiffen Associated Press -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WASHINGTON - Law enforcement officers around the country will be able to compare DNA genetic evidence taken from convicted felons and gathered in unsolved cases after the FBI switches on a national computer system today. All states will be linked to an FBI computer here that contains genetic profiles of 250,000 convicted state felons and DNA profiles taken from evidence left at the scene of 4,600 unsolved cases, Dwight Adams chief of the FBI lab's scientific analysis section, said Monday. The states have collected an additional 350,000 DNA samples from convicted felons but have yet to analyze them and enter the genetic profiles onto the computer database. "There's a backlog," Adams said. Although all states have laws authorizing blood sampling of some convicted felons to obtain DNA profiles, eight states have not begun collecting the actual samples, Adams said. While the federal government set up the national computer system to share the records, Congress has not passed a law authorizing collection of DNA samples from federal felons. Proposed federal legislation would cover only violent felons, not white-collar criminals. But for now me computer system contains only state records. Adams said some states, such as Virginia, collect data from all felons including white-collar criminals, but others states take DNA samples only from criminals convicted of a restricted list of crimes. Every state covers sexual assaults, Adams said. The DNA in the unsolved-case database is taken from crime scenes. DNA profiles can be obtained from semen collected following a rape, blood left on broken glass during a break-in or even bits of an assailant's skin caught under a victim's fingernails during an assault. Since last December the FBI has conducted an eight-state test of the system and has matched DNA evidence from almost 200 cases to specific individuals, Adams said. In the first such success, announced in December, a convicted felon in Illinois was matched to a Wisconsin rape case. When police labs take evidence from a felon or crime scene they enter the DNA profiles into a state computer system. The states then decide which records are loaded into the FBI computer, known as the National DNA Index System: Build Your Free Home PageVisit other great pages on:EntertainmentEntertainment
