Johnia Berry Act of 2007 becomes law

Governor Phil Bredesen signed a bill into law today that requires anyone arrested for a violent crime to give a DNA sample. Named "The Johnia Berry Act of 2007", the new law requires DNA samples to be taken from persons booked for violent felonies after January 1, 2008.

We would like to say a sincere thank you to Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey, Representative Jason Mumpower, the supporting state senators and representatives, Governor Bredesen, and all of our family and friends who have been so very gracious with their time and support over the past two years. Without you, realizing this important law would've been impossible.
