Carter Leads Bipartisan Lawmakers in Introducing Bill to Bring Justice to Cold Cases

| Posted in Press Releases

Congressman John Carter (TX-31) and Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the Justice Served Act this week. This bill directs funding to state and local jurisdictions to prosecute violent criminals who have been identified through newly discovered DNA evidence. They are joined by Representatives Carolyn Maloney (NY-12), Bill Pascrell (NJ-09) Ted Poe (TX-02), John Ratcliffe (TX-04), Dave Reichert (WA-08), Adam Schiff (CA-28), Lamar Smith (TX-21), and Eric Swalwell (CA-15) in introducing this important legislation. For far too long, cold cases have sat dormant on investigators' desks because there has been no identifiable suspect. This bill will ensure those found responsible through new DNA evidence are prosecuted.
