Ohio AG Mike DeWine Reducing Testing Time for DNA
From Mike DeWine:
My top priority as Ohio Attorney General is to protect families. As part of that commitment, when I took office two years ago, I made it a priority of my office to significantly decrease the time it takes at our crime lab -- BCI -- to test evidence for local law enforcement. When I took office, the average turnaround time for testing DNA evidence was 125 days. The hard-working men and women at our lab have reduced that testing time now to 20 days -- and we’ve done this while seeing a 30% increase in our caseload.

Two COASTers make national news on same day
COAST "Tweets" Complaint and Mark Miller featured NYT.
This morning, we were greeted with this from the New York Times featuring the important litigation, COAST v. Ohio Elections Commission. This is possibly COAST's most important piece of First Amendment litigation, challenging the jurisdiction of the Ohio Elections Commission in "false speech" cases. As Mike DeWine's Amicus Brief in the very case he is defending (bravery!) tells us, the statute and the OEC process is terribly misused to chill legitimate and entirely truthful political speech.
Roseann Siderits featured in the Wall Street Journal
Then, an hour later, we saw this video on WSJ.Com with Roseann Siderits doing her grass roots work for Presidential candidate Rick Santorum in West Chester.
COAST would note that it put its better foot forward with Roseann Siderits in video and Mark in print, and we will leave it at that.
