To ensure conviction integrity in the prosecuted homicides, District Attorney General Neal Pinkston will
create an external oversight committee to supervise the inventory and review of unprocessed evidence.
The sitting Criminal Court judges have offered their recommendations for who should be appointed to
the committee, which will be comprised of an out of district and/or retired Judge, a defense attorney, a
civil rights advocate, and a law professor.
The Committee should be appointed by January 15, 2016, at which time District Attorney General Neal
Pinkston will provide the members with a proposal for conducting the evidence inventory. Responses
from the committee members will be used to finalize the protocol that will be followed to account for all
of the unprocessed evidence.
We anticipate the inventory process will be lengthy but are hopeful it will be completed by the end of
2016. In the meantime, any defendant convicted of a homicide between the years 1986 and 2002 who
wants to know if his or her case has unanalyzed evidence should contact our office at 423-209-7400.
