Why they voted this way
The lawmaker urges support because the amendment addresses a newly identified issue regarding whether an exoneration truly means innocence or if it results from other factors like witness unavailability.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker opposes concurring because the House amendments added unrelated processes and undisclosed appropriations, causing the bill to stray from its original intent.
Why they voted this way
The lawmaker supports the bill because DNA technology now exists to prove innocence in cases where it was unavailable during initial proceedings, and a specific exoneration case has already occurred in the state. The legislation clarifies the process for these exonerations.
