Only a handful of California prisoners are taking advantage of a new state law allowing them to use DNA testing to try to prove their innocence, according to the attorney general's office. About 30 of the state's 160,000 inmates have formally sought DNA testing under the law, which went into effect Jan. 1. And none of the requests has been approved. The low number of requests may reflect the narrowness of the law, which is carefully worded to limit frivolous claims. It also could be due to a lack of awareness behind bars about the availability of testing.
