DNA Legislation Passes the Senate

On Monday afternoon in Nashville, the Senate unanimously approved legislation that will require all persons arrested of violent crimes to submit DNA that will be checked against a DNA database. The legislation has been at the center of Joan and Mike Berry's crusade to bolster laws that will help solve cases like Johnia's.

Named "The Johnia Berry Act of 2007", the new law will take effect January 2008.
