The Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) in Boston, MA was awarded a $1,523,688 federal Project Grant on October 1, 2024 under the U.S. Department of Justice's Postconviction Testing of DNA Evidence (CFDA 16.820) program. The grant aims to expand an existing hair review project and identify cases from 1970-2000 where serology was used to secure murder convictions, as these methods have led to wrongful convictions. The project will enable CPCS to collaborate with the Boston Police Forensic Division and Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory to locate evidence, conduct DNA testing, and identify cases where innocence could be established. The funding will support CPCS staffing to determine convictions, locate transcripts and case files, evaluate cases for potential DNA testing, and train a panel of attorneys to handle post-conviction DNA testing litigation. The project also seeks to increase access to qualified attorneys for defendants seeking post-conviction DNA testing through court referrals and direct applications to CPCS.
