The Florida Supreme Court set aside a Wednesday deadline for inmates to request DNA testing of evidence that could prove their innocence. By a 4-3 vote, the justices said they were putting aside the deadline so they can take more time to consider the inmates' appeal challenging the deadline's constitutionality. They said they will hear oral arguments Nov. 7. The Florida Legislature 2 years ago gave inmates until Wednesday to request DNA testing, but their attorneys said that was proving to be an impossible task. They argued that there should be no deadline for inmates to prove their innocence. That bill was passed after DNA testing proved the innocence of 2 convicted killers.
